Good afternoon,
thank you for your reply.
The intent comes into play at various stages: in colprof, in collink and in
cctiff. It is not yet clear to me what the purpose at the various stages is
to specify the intent. I would have thought naively, that it is important to
specify the intent, where one goes from the scanner gamut e.g. to AdobeRGB.
But this happens in collink and in cctiff. So I am somewhat confused about
these multiple choices.
Best wishes

Hi,
That is exactly what I did up to now and using the scanner software to
render the scans to AdobeRGB. But then I am bound to the rendering intent
the profile is in, which according to your documentation is always
colorimetric. The intent specified in colprof with the -Z parameter is,
according to your documentation, not really used by Argyll.
that's purely a function of the CMM or Application you are using. For
instance,
if you use cctiff, then you can chose whatever combination of rendering
intent
you like from those present in the source and destination profiles. If your
destination is the normal AdobeRGB profile though, you are limited to
Colorimetric
intents because it is a matrix profile, but if you were to create a device
link using collink, then you have a wide variety of intents available.
Cheers,
Graeme Gill.
