Gamut mapping for Fiery Edge controls

These controls adjust the visual appearance of prints made using the perceptual and saturation rendering intent.

  1. Click the Gamut mapping tab. If you are using a factory profile with hue rotation, you can customize the Fiery Edge gamut mapping settings by clicking Revert to Legacy Mode.
  2. Set the following values for Perceptual gamut mapping:
    • Saturation boost - Choose from five levels of saturation boost for the perceptual rendering intent. If None is selected a boost to in-gamut colors is not applied. The Low mode indicates that adjustments are not made to the saturation of the reproduction. The Medium mode provides a modest boost of the in-gamut color. Select this mode to create slightly more saturated output. The High mode provides a more aggressive chroma boost to in-gamut colors. Select this mode when highly saturated colors are the goal. The Maximum mode provides the most aggressive chroma boost to in-gamut colors. Select this mode when the highest saturated colors are the goal.
    • Contrast - Adjust the global contrast of the printed colors. There are four levels of Contrast adjustment: None, Low, Medium, and High. These settings progressively increase the contrast of the printed colors.
    • Lighten shadows - Increase the lightness in dark colored regions selectively while maintaining the lightness in brighter tones. There are four levels of Lighten shadows adjustment: None, Low, Medium, and High. These settings progressively increase the brightness in the darker tone regions. Use these adjustments to enhance the detail in the darker tones.
  3. Set the following values for Saturation rendering (Fiery Intensify):
    • Saturation boost - Choose from five levels of saturation boost for the perceptual rendering intent. If None is selected a boost to in-gamut colors is not applied. The Low mode indicates that adjustments are not made to the saturation of the reproduction. The Medium mode provides a modest boost of the in-gamut color. Select this mode to create slightly more saturated output. The High mode provides a more aggressive chroma boost to in-gamut colors. Select this mode when highly saturated colors are the goal. The Maximum mode provides the most aggressive chroma boost to in-gamut colors. Select this mode when the highest saturated colors are the goal.
    • Contrast - Adjust the global contrast of the printed colors. There are four levels of Contrast adjustment: None, Low, Medium, and High. These settings progressively increase the contrast of the printed colors.
    • Lighten shadows - Increase the lightness in dark colored regions selectively while maintaining the lightness in brighter tones. There are four levels of Lighten shadows adjustment: None, Low, Medium, and High. These settings progressively increase the brightness in the darker tone regions. Use these adjustments to enhance the detail in the darker tones.
  4. Click Apply to save your selections, click Reset to reset to the default settings, or one of the other tabs.
