Hey Roger & Scott
I think you are missing each other's point. Scott was wishing for a
Rendering Intent selection in the print dialog and Roger said
"Actually, Scott, a rendering intent in the print dialog would be
very cumbersome and not all that productive. The way it works,
currently, is that every placed image in InDesign is its own Source
in the ProfileToProfile transform. So, let's take the example of a 96
page magazine with photos placed with various embedded profiles on
every pages: can you imagine what the Print dialog box would have to
look like if it had to present some
interface to the user to allow selecting a rendering intent for each
and every photos placed?!"
I think what Scott was talking about, (and what I'd also love to see)
is a Rendering intent selection in the print dialog for THE WHOLE
DOCUMENT, exactly as there is in the color settings dialog. I don't
think anyone wants to see an option for changing each image
individually, just a simple way to change rendering intent at print,
just like photoshop allows.
It seems the discussion got sidetracked by the "many to one
relationship" comment. I agree that this is how InDesign should
behave, but it would be nice if one could change rendering intent
when printing.

But in InDesign, it's a many to one relationship (many sources but
one destination).
No, not always. Content repurposing is more common than ever these
days and
I'm certainly seeing people print the same document to multiple
devices and
needing different intents. All of this (and other little details)
can lead a
person to want one default intent and/or policy in Photoshop and
another in
InDesign which breaks the whole
single-color-settings-file-for-all-applications idea.
