Capture NX 2 provides the following intents:

 

This rendering intent maintains the relationships of colors so that the printed

Perceptual

image appears natural to the human eye. While this intent maintains the

 

relationship of colors, the actual color values will be changed.

Saturation

This rendering intent produces highly saturated colors, but it may not produce

accurate colors in a photograph.

 

 

This rendering intent maps all of the colors that fall outside of the gamut of the

Relative

target profile to the closest reproducible color. This profile reproduces accurately

all of the colors that are within the range of colors reproducible by your printer.

Colorimetric

This option preserves as many natural colors as possible and is often the best

 

 

choice for printing photographs.

 

This rendering intent is very similar to relative colorimetric, except that it maps

 

the white point of the image to the white point of the destination profile. It is

Absolute

recommend that you use absolute colorimetric only if you want to proof your

Colorimetric

images for a specific print device other than your printer, since this rendering

 

intent will attempt to reproduce the results of the output device, including the

 

effect of a different paper color.

 

 

Use Black Point Compensation

Check this box to utilize black point compensation. This ensures that the black point from the image is mapped to the black point of your printer, enabling the full color range of the printer to be used. If your prints contain either gray shadows or too little detail, try turning this option off. Unless you are having problems with a specific print and profile combination, it is recommended that you always use this option.

A Please note: Each color profile change will create a new step within the Edit List palette. You may at any time

remove or change the color profile change within the current image editing session. If you save the image as an NEF file, you will also be able to go back to the Edit List palette and remove any of these changes without any loss

of color detail.

After you have updated the color profile information for your image, click on the Apply button to accept the changes.
