Color space

A color space is the reproducible color range (color gamut characteristics). DPP supports the following five kinds of color space.

sRGB :Standard color space for Windows. Widely used for the standard color space of monitors, digital cameras, and scanners.

Adobe RGB : A wider color space than sRGB. Mainly used for printing for business purposes.

Apple RGB : Standard color space for Macintosh. A slightly wider color space than sRGB.

ColorMatch RGB : A slightly wider color space than sRGB. Mainly used for printing for business purposes.

Wide Gamut RGB : A wider color space than Adobe RGB.Refer to the color chart below for the color area of each color space.Color chart of color spaces compatible with DPPColor range that can be seen by the human eye

CMYK simulation profiles

A profile that simulates colors when printing in a CMYK environment (printing machine, etc.). With DPP, you can simulate color with four types of profile.

Rendering intent

Rendering intents are color conversion methods when printing an image. The conversion method of each rendering intent is shown below.

Perceptual : Before and after conversion, all colors are converted to maintain the relationship between colors. Even where colors slightly change, you can print a natural-looking image which has maintained color harmony. However, depending on the image, the saturation may change overall.

Relative Colorimetric : There will not be much conversion to colors which are similar before and after conversion, but colors which are not similar are converted appropriately. Because there are little changes to similar colors which comprise most of an image, you can print a natural-looking image in which the saturation has not changed greatly. However, depending on the image, there are cases where the overall tone of an image changes somewhat as colors which are not similar and highlights change.
