    "paste profile mismatch" ... what rendering intent is used?

    Christian Davideck Community Member

      When using edit > convert to profile... one can choose 1 of 4 rendering intents (Photoshop CS3).

       

      Does anyone know which 2 of the 4 are used in the following situation ?

       

      paste profile mismatch

      You are pasting content copied from a document with a different color profile.

      Source: (profile)
      Destination: (different profile)

      What would you like to do ?
      (  ) convert (preserve color appearance)
      (  ) don't convert (preserve color numbers)

       

      My guess is that the second option uses the "absolute colorimetric" rendering intent.

      But what about the first option (preserve color appearance) ? Does it use "perceptual" or "relative colorimetric" ?

       

      And in case this issue has not been improved upon in CS4, I'd suggest that the corresponding rendering intent be mentioned in the dialog box (in addition to or instead of the "preserve..." explanation).
