Hi Armindo,
Pleased to meet you again :-)
lcms does support the four rendering intents. Also, a single profile can =
contain more than one intent.
The intent basically stands for the usage you would give to bitmap.
=20
The two more usefull intents are perceptual and saturation.
Perceptual is good for images, it tends to preserve contrast and makes
the image looking good. But it can move significantly given colors.
Saturation stands for logos, spot colors, etc. It tends to preserve the=20
amount of color. But it can make photos look ugly.
If I recall correctly, you are working on textile. On this particular =
stuff,=20
saturation will bring better color matching, as far as you give more=20
importance to the color that to the image.
There are two additional intents, relative colorimetric, used only as=20
a transport format, and absolute colorimetric, used on side-by-side=20
color match. Absolute colorimetric is useless on all but very specific=20
conditions, and relative colorimetric is only used on math calculations.
I would try perceptual & saturation, but I guess you will choose=20
saturation as your working intent.
Besides, I'm almost ready to release a new revision. This one does
include scanner & monitor profilers. For printers, it will take a bit =
more=20
time. A preview of new release can be found at =

Best Regards,
Marti.
