Set gamut mapping

An output profile contains information for different types of gamut mapping with different rendering intents. Gamut mapping settings control how gamut mapping occurs.

The Edit Gamut Mapping window displays the colormetric mapping, saturation blending, and perceptual mapping used for gamut mapping. These settings apply to both RGB and CMYK profiles.

  • Colorimetric mapping applies to the Absolute Colorimetric and Relative Colorimetric rendering intents. It determines how an output color is matched to a source color.

  • Saturation blending applies to the Saturation rendering intent.

  • Perceptual mapping applies to the Perceptual rendering intent.

The default settings for the gamut mapping options are recommended for most profiles.

  1. In the Apply Settings window, click Edit Gamut Mapping.
  2. Click one of the following in the Colormetric Mapping list:

    • Closest dE (Delta E) - Sets the output color value that is closest to the source color value numerically. This setting generally produces the most visually appealing color.

    • Closest dE Enhanced Shadows - Sets the output color value that is closest to the source color value numerically, except that it adjusts color values in shadow regions to provide smoother gradations. This setting may enhance results when profiling on media with a small gamut.

    • Constant Hue - Sets the output color value closest to the source color value in the same hue. This setting might produce more desirable output than Closest dE. For example, a blend from pure white to pure blue is smoother with this setting. Photographic images with a wide range of sky blue tones also reproduce better.

  3. Click one of the following in the Saturation Blending list:

    • Enhance Gamut Blending - Generates smooth transitions through the entire gamut, making larger adjustments for colors farther from the neutral axis.

    • Use Presentation Method from EFI Profiler 1.5 - Preserves continuity if you have used EFI Color Profiler v1.5 to create profiles and want to match the profile you are creating now with your existing profiles.

    • CIECAM saturation - Produces more natural colors when using the Saturation rendering intent, based on the latest CIE color appearance model.

  4. Click one of the following in the Perceptual Mapping list:

    • EFI Photographic - Matches Fiery workflows.

    • Perceptual - Standard ICC mapping.

    • CIECAM presentation - Produces more natural colors when using the Presentation rendering intent, based on the latest CIE color appearance model.
