Re: Gamut mapping newbie question

Hi Max,

Gamut mapping is not needed when the resulting PCS color is inside the gamut of the destination profile. Thus, gamut mapping is not performed for PCS colors within the intersection of the source and destination gamuts.

I agree this is true if the gamut mapping is clipping. If it's compression, then colors within the destination profile are likely to be moved ("mapped") too.

Additionally, destination gamut colors outside of the source gamut are not accessed.

My interpretation of the perceptual intent would match this, but not saturation intent. In addition, my understanding of how the PRMG could be used indicates that it could result in colors outside the source gamut being accessed, irrespective of the intent. Cheers, Graeme.
