Introduction
Digital Photo Professional (hereinafter, DPP) is a high-performance

RAW image processing, viewing and editing software for EOS DIGITAL
cameras. It is often thought that RAW images are difficult to handle
compared with ordinary JPEG images, but using DPP, you can perform
advanced edits and print RAW images with ease.
RAW Images and Their Features

What is a RAW Image?
A RAW image is image data that has recorded output data of imaging
sensor. Because image processing does not occur inside the camera
when a photo is taken and the photo has been recorded in the special
form of RAW image data + Image processing conditions information at
the time of shooting, special software is needed to view or edit the
image.
* RAW means in a natural condition or not processed or refined.
What Advantages Does a RAW Image Have?

RAW images are recorded in the format RAW image data + Image
processing conditions information at the time of shooting. When you
open an image in DPP, the image is instantly developed and you can
view the image as an image to which image processing conditions at the
time of shooting have been applied.
Even if you perform various adjustments to the image you have opened
(it undergoes automatic development processing each time), only the
image processing conditions (development conditions) change and the
original image data itself remains unaffected. Consequently, image
deterioration is not a problem and it is the perfect image data for users
who want to get creative with their images after they have been shot.
In DPP, the Image processing conditions information that can be
adjusted is called a Recipe.

What is RAW Development?

If described in terms of film, the concept of a RAW image is a shot
image not yet developed (latent image).
With film, the image appears for the first time when it is developed. And
as for RAW images too, you cannot view it as an image on your
computer unless you perform subsequent image signal processing.
Therefore, even though it is digital, this processing is called
development and with EOS DIGITAL is performed using DPP.
With DPP, you can view, edit and print RAW images without having to be
particularly conscious of the development processing.

About the Tool Palette

You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB] and [NR/Lens/ALO] tab sheets according to your editing
requirements.
Because adjustment made with the tool palette (it undergoes automatic
development processing each time) only changes the image processing
conditions, the original image data itself remains unaffected.
Therefore, there are no problems with image deterioration that arise with
editing and you can readjust your images any number of times.
See Chapter 2 onwards for more detailed information on the various
functions of the tool palette.
About Recipes
In DPP, all the adjustment contents (image processing conditions
information) made with the tool palette is saved to an image as data
called a Recipe (p.79).

Introduction
About the RGB Tool Palette

requirements.
The [RGB] tool palette functions are the same as ordinary image editing
software, such as tone curve adjustment that is explained here, with
which you can adjust RAW images.
However, because the adjustment width of the functions in the [RGB]
tool palette is wider than the [RAW] tool palette, the image color may be
saturated, or the image quality may deteriorate if you adjust too much.
Therefore we recommend for functions other than tone curve
adjustment (p.54) and automatic adjustment (p.30), that you adjust
images using the same functions available in the [RAW] tool palette.
Refer to Chapter 5 for explanations on functions of the [RGB] tool
palette other than tone curve adjustment.

Using the tool palette

We recommend that as a general principle you edit RAW images using
the [RAW] tool palette. However, where the adjustment width with the
[RAW] tool palette is not wide enough and you wish to use the special
functions in the [RGB] tool palette, we recommend that you adjust your
images at the necessary lowest limit with the [RGB] tool palette after
having completed basic adjustment with the [RAW] tool palette.
Use the adjustment function of the [NR/Lens/ALO] tool palette (p.110)
when applying the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.57), reducing noise (p.58)
or correcting aberration (p.59) after you have made any required
adjustments with the [RAW] and [RGB] tool palettes.

Using the Auto Lighting Optimizer

If the shooting result is dark or the contrast is low, you can use the Auto
Lighting Optimizer function to auto-correct the brightness and contrast,
and obtain a more pleasant image.
You can also change the settings of the image shot with the cameras
Auto Lighting Optimizer function.
This function is compatible only with RAW images shot with EOS 5D
Mark II, EOS 7D, EOS 50D, and EOS REBEL T1i/500D.

After selecting multiple images in the main window, you can set the
same noise reduction level for the images without displaying the [NR
Preview] window, by adjusting the noise reduction level in the [NR/Lens/
ALO] tool palette (p.110) using the [Luminance noise reduction] and
[Chrominance noise reduction] sliders, and then clicking the [Apply]
button.
O You can set the default noise reduction beforehand, using
[Default noise reduction settings] in the [Tool palette] tab sheet in
the [Preferences] (p.75).
When [Apply camera settings] is selected, you can pre-set a
noise reduction level that suits the camera settings beforehand
as the default.
When [Set as defaults] is selected, you can pre-set a preferred
default setting for the noise reduction level beforehand. This is
particularly useful for applying noise reduction to all the images
in a folder at once, such as batch noise reduction for images
with high ISO speeds.
However, for images with recipes attached, the noise level
recorded in the recipe will be applied.
O If [Luminance noise reduction] has been set, resolution may be
reduced along with reduction of noise.
O If [Chrominance noise reduction] has been set, color bleeding
may occur along with reduction of noise.
O For a list of [NR/Lens/ALO] tool palette functions, refer to p.110.

Correcting Lens Aberration
Introduction
You can easily make corrections to drops in peripheral illumination,

distortions in the subject, and color blur which occur by the physical
characteristics of the lens or slightly remaining aberration.
Please note that you can only correct RAW images which have been
taken with the compatible cameras and lenses listed below. JPEG or
TIFF images cannot be corrected.

Photoshop starts up and the transferred image is displayed.

A single image can be transferred at a time
Only one image can be transferred at a time. To send multiple images at
a time, refer to p.83.
O Compatible versions of Photoshop are 7.0 or later.
O Transferred images are automatically converted to TIFF images
(16bit) to which an ICC profile (p.120) is added. The ICC profile
contains information about [Preferences] (p.76) or work color
space set for each image as described below and the appropriate
color information is relayed to Photoshop.
O When you exit Photoshop, only the original RAW image remains,
and the transferred image will disappear. Saving the transferred
image as a separate image in Photoshop is highly recommended.
Setting Work Color Space

O Viewing and saving RAW images

You can select from two types of image quality for displaying/saving
RAW images: high image quality with false color reduction processing
and noise reduction function (p.58) used, or high speed without false
color processing and noise reduction function used.
[High quality]
O False color reduction processing is automatically applied, and the
image can be displayed/saved as a false color reduced-high quality
image. Furthermore, you can use the noise reduction function (p.58)
to reduce the luminance noise and chrominance noise.
O Because the effects of the false color reduction processing and noise
reduction function are difficult to see in the [50% view] or [Fit to
window] display of the edit window and edit image window, use
[100% view] or [200% view] to check.
O We recommend that you normally set [High quality] for a balance
between image quality and display speed.
[View images at high speed (moir reduction off)] of [High quality]
O If you checkmark [View images at high speed (moir reduction off)],
when the image is displayed in the edit window or the edit image
window, false color reduction processing is not applied. However, you
can use the noise reduction function.
O As the setting is the same as [High quality] other than for image
display, the image undergoes false color reduction processing when it
is saved.
[High speed]
O Since false color reduction processing is not applied, the display
speed of a RAW image in the edit window or the edit image window,
and the time it takes to save a RAW image is shorter than with [High
quality].
O You cannot use the noise reduction function (p.58).
O Depending on the image, it may be displayed/saved with false color
or noise being noticeable.
O JPEG image quality
[Remove block noise and mosquito noise]
O You can improve the quality of a JPEG image by reducing the noise
particular to JPEG images.
This setting is also effective when RAW images are converted to
JPEG images and saved (p.38, p.82) and for JPEG images that have
been saved with a different name.
[Display thumbnails at high quality]
O You can have the thumbnails for JPEG images automatically displayed
at high quality. If you checkmark [Display thumbnails at high quality],
all subsequent JPEG image thumbnails imported into DPP will be
displayed at high quality.
The extent of the improvement in noise reduction
The higher the JPEG images compression rate, the more noise is
reduced. When the compression rate is low, the effect of noise reduction
is negligible.
O Default value of output resolution

and [Sharpness] settings will be changed or retained, when you change
the Picture Style.
O If you checkmark the checkbox, the [Color tone], [Color saturation],
[Contrast] and [Sharpness] settings will be changed to match the
cameras preset settings, when you change the Picture Style.
O If you remove the check mark, the [Color tone], [Color saturation],
[Contrast] and [Sharpness] settings will be retained, even if you
change the Picture Style.
O Default noise reduction settings

You can set a default beforehand for the noise reduction level.
RAW Images
When [Apply camera settings] is selected, you can pre-set a noise
reduction level that suits the camera settings beforehand as the
default.
When [Set as defaults] is selected, you can pre-set a preferred
default setting for the noise reduction level beforehand.
JPEG/TIFF Images
You can set a desired default noise reduction level beforehand.
For images not having a recipe attached, the default set here for noise
reduction level is applied. However, if you want to apply settings to
images in the opened folder, you need to re-open the folder after making
settings here. For images with a recipe attached, the noise level
recorded in the recipe remains as it is and the default for noise reduction
level set here is not applied.

O Default settings of RGB tool palette

You cannot apply changes to the settings until you re-open the folder.
Changes are not applied to the edited image
Even if the default setting is changed, the new default setting is not
applied to edited (i.e., adjusted using the tool palette, trimmed, dusterased) images. Change each one individually.
Advantages of setting a noise reduction default

In instances where the same level of noise occurs in several images,
such as images shot with high ISO speed, setting an appropriate default
noise reduction setting enables you to apply a batch noise reduction
default to all the images displayed in DPP (excluding images with a
recipe attached). This eliminates the need to apply noise reduction to
each individual image. And, since you always shoot with the same
conditions, it is also useful when you want to set the same noise
reduction level for all shot images.
75
Introduction
Color Management
You can specify settings relating to color management, such as settings
for work color space, conditions for color matching, etc.
O Default settings of Work color space

You can select from five types of color space (p.121) that is applied as a
default setting in RAW images. Color space that has been set is applied
as the color space when a RAW image is converted and saved (p.38,
p.82) or printed (p.39, p.42, p.45, p.68 to p.71).
O If you have changed the setting, and you restart DPP, the new setting
is applied as the default setting color space.
O You can check color space that has been set in an image in the edit
window (p.108) and the edit image window (p.113).
Changes are not applied to the edited image
Even if the default setting is changed, the new default setting is not
applied to edited (i.e., adjusted using the tool palette, trimmed, dusterased) images. Change each one individually.
You can set a color space that is different from the default settings
for each image (p.67).
O Display setting (color setting of the monitor)

Where a profile (p.120) is attached to the monitor you are using, you can
display an image in more faithful colors by setting the profile.
O If you select [Use the OS settings], the color profile set in Windows
will also be applied in DPP.
If you are using multiple monitors, only the profile of the primary
monitor is applied to DPP.
O Select the [Monitor profile], click the [Browse] button and in the dialog
box that appears, select a profile for your monitor.

Precise coloring with a third-party monitor color reader

If you use a profile created using a third-party monitor color reader,
images can be displayed in even more precise colors.
76
Introduction
O Setting of printing profile (color setting of the printer)
O Setting of CMYK simulation profile
Where a profile (p.120) is attached to the printer you are using to print
images, you can print an image and simulate the colors displayed on
screen by setting the profile. The profile that has been set is applied to
all printing (p.45, p.68, p.69) except for printing using a Canon inkjet
printer (p.39, p.42) or linked printing (p.70, p.71).
You can select the color when printing in the CMYK environment of a
printing machine, etc. from four types of profiles (p.121) and perform
simulation on screen.
O When CMYK simulation has been set, [CMYK] appears (p.105, p.106,
p.108, p.113) in the bottom of the main window, edit window and edit
image window, and colors can be checked.
O To temporarily cancel CMYK simulation, press the <Ctrl> + <Y> keys.
The adjustment function of the printer driver should not be

used
Even if you set a printer profile, if you use the color adjustment function
of the printer driver, the image may print in colors different from those
displayed on screen.
Automatic settings for printing using EPP EX, EPP, and
linked printing
If you are printing using a Canon inkjet printer (p.39, p.42) or using
linked printing (p.70, p.71), a profile is set automatically even when the
[Printing profile] setting is not performed. This allows you to print faithful
colors easily.
O Rendering intents when using Easy-PhotoPrint

You can set a rendering intent (matching method) (p.121) for printing
using Easy-PhotoPrint (p.42).
O The rendering intent is ordinarily set to [Relative Colorimetric].
O When colors with [Relative Colorimetric] are not satisfactory, set to
[Perceptual].

Utilizing Adjustment Contents (Recipe)

All the adjustment contents (recipe) made using the tool palette can be
saved as an individual recipe file (extension .vrd) and loaded and
applied to another image.
You can edit images efficiently by selecting and adjusting one image
from images shot with the same shooting environment and batch
applying the adjustment results to a large number of images.
RAW image data

Introduction
O Recipe data includes tool palette contents
Recipe data includes adjustments made with the tool palette ([RAW],
[RGB] and [NR/Lens/ALO]). For this reason, other editing content
such as trimming or dust-erasure (copy stamp) is not included in the
recipe data.
O Recipes adjusted with the [RAW] tool palette can only be applied
to RAW images
Adjustments in the [RAW] tool palette, which can only be made for
RAW images, are not applied to a JPEG or TIFF image even if they
are pasted.

The [Batch settings] window appears.
[Save] cannot be performed

In the [Batch settings] window, you cannot perform [Save] or [Save As]
(p.37, p.100) to edited RAW images.
To save the developing/editing results for the version you are currently using
DPPs RAW image development processing technology is continually
being improved upon so that you can perform the latest image
processing more appropriately.
Meaning that, between two differing versions of DPP, processing results
may differ very slightly even if with the same RAW image data, or the
results of significant editing of RAW image data with an attached recipe
may be different.
When you want to save the developing or editing results of the version
you are currently using as it is, it is recommended that you convert and
save images as JPEG image or TIFF images.
Skillful batch saving
O While saving is being performed, you can continue working in
another window
Since the saving function operates independently in the background,
you can continue with an operation in another window such as the
main window or the edit window during the saving process.
O To convert all images and save, do not select an image in the
main window
If you do not perform step 1 and perform step 2 with no image
selected in the main window, all the images displayed in the main
window will be converted and saved.
The batch processing dialog box appears and saving begins.

When all the images are saved, the [Exit] button appears in the
batch processing dialog box.
Introduction
In the processing dialog box, click the [Exit] button.
O If you have selected [New file name] in [File name], [Sequence

Editing JPEG and TIFF Images

With DPP, you can adjust JPEG and TIFF images in the same way as
RAW images using the [RGB] and [NR/Lens/ALO] tool palettes.
Because adjustment made with the tool palette (recipe) only changes
the image processing conditions, the original image data itself remains
unaffected. Therefore, there are no problems with image deterioration
that arise with editing and you can readjust your images any number of
times.
JPEG, TIFF image data

Contents adjusted using the tool

palette can be handled
individually as a recicpe file
(extension .vrd) (p.79, p.101).
Introduction
About the RGB Tool Palette

With the functions in the [RGB] tool palette, you can adjust JPEG and
TIFF images with the same functions as ordinary image editing
software.
However, because the adjustment width of the adjustment functions in
the [RGB] tool palette is wider than the [RAW] tool palette, the image
color may be saturated, or the image quality may deteriorate if you
adjust too much. Therefore, take care not to adjust your images to an
excessive degree.
You can adjust RAW images with the functions in the [RGB] tool palette.
However, for functions other than tone curve adjustment (p.91) and
automatic adjustment (p.87), we recommend adjusting RAW images
using the same functions available in the [RAW] tool palette.

In DPP all the adjustments (image processing conditions information)

made with the tool palette can be saved in the image as data called a
recipe (p.100), or can be saved, downloaded and applied to other
images as a separate recipe file (extension .vrd) (p.79, p.101).

Introduction
Automatically Adjusting Brightness and Color (Tone Curve Assist)

In order to make the image a desirable standard image, automatically
adjust the image tone curve (p.120). You can select the degree of
automatic adjustment from Standard and High.
Click the desired automatic adjustment button.

O Standard: Standard automatic adjustment. Suitable for most
images.
O High:
Use when the effect achieved in standard automatic
adjustment is not strong enough.

Images not suitable for automatic adjustment (tone curve

assist)
The result of automatic adjustment (tone curve assist) may not be as
expected with the following images:
Images which have been shot with the proper exposure
Images where the brightness is unbalanced
Images which are too dark
Images which have extreme backlighting
If you click the [
] button, the tone curve as well as the [Hue]
and [Saturation] revert to the default settings. Take care when
adjusting the [Hue] and [Saturation] individually (p.90).

Saving as a Separate Image
If a JPEG or TIFF image is adjusted with the tool palette (p.86 to p.93)
and then saved in the same way as a RAW image as described below,
the image can be saved as a separate image with the adjustments
(recipe) applied to it.
Furthermore, if a trimmed image (p.94) or dust-erased image (p.96 to
p.100) is also saved in the same way, it actually becomes a trimmed or
dust-erased image.
O Saving as a JPEG or TIFF Image (p.38)
O Batch save as JPEG or TIFF images (batch processing) (p.82)
By saving as a separate JPEG or TIFF image as explained above, the
adjustments made with the tool palette are applied, and some image
deterioration that accompanies editing/saving occurs as when editing
with ordinary image editing software.
Only the image processing conditions are changed in images adjusted

with the tool palette (p.86 to p.93), so the original image data itself
remains unaffected. Also, the trimming range or dust-erasure
information of a trimmed image (p.94) or dust-erased image (p.96 to
p.100) is simply saved to the image.
For this reason, you can undo any adjustments saved (p.100) to the
image, trimming range and dust-erasure information, and revert to the
condition when last saved, or when the image was shot.

Troubleshooting
If DPP is not operating correctly, refer to the items below.
Installation could not be completed correctly

O You cannot install the software if a user setting other than [Computer
administrator] privilege or [Administrator] privilege is selected. Select
the [Computer administrator] privilege user setting in Windows XP or
the [Administrator] privilege user setting in Windows Vista. For
detailed information on selecting the user setting, refer to your
computer Users Manual.
DPP does not work

O DPP does not operate correctly on a computer if its system
requirements does not meet. Use DPP on a computer with compatible
system requirements (p.3).
O Even if your computer has the RAM capacity (memory) described in
the system requirements (p.3), if other applications are running at the
same time as DPP, you may not have sufficient RAM (memory). Exit
any applications other than DPP.
Images do not display properly

O Images that are not supported by DPP do not display. There are
various types of JPEG and TIFF images, so JPEG images other than
Exif 2.2 and 2.21 compatible images and TIFF images other than Exif
compatible images may not display properly (p.3).
O When a dust-erased image (p.63 to p.67, p.96 to p.100) is displayed
in a window other than the copy stamp window, it is displayed as it
was before dust erasure was performed. Check dust-erased images
in the copy stamp window.
Introduction
An image could not be adjusted

O The JPEG and TIFF images cannot be adjusted using the image
adjustment function of the [RAW] tool palette. Adjust these images
with the [RGB] tool palette (p.109).
O PowerShot Pro1 RAW images cannot be adjusted with the image
adjustment function of the [RAW] tool palette. Adjust these images
with the [RGB] tool palette (p.109).
A recipe could not be pasted (applied) to another image

O You cannot paste (apply) rotation (p.10, p.23, p.105, p.112, p.113),
trimming (p.35, p.94), dust erasure (copy stamp) (p.63 to p.67, p.96 to
p.100) of an image to another image as a recipe. Trim the image or
erase dust of the image using the copy/paste function in each window
and rotate each image individually.
O The adjustment contents (recipe) of RAW images that has been
adjusted with the [RAW] tool palette cannot be applied to JPEG or
TIFF images (p.109).
O The Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.57) is a function that is only available
for RAW images shot with EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 7D, EOS 50D, and
EOS REBEL T1i/500D. You cannot apply the Auto Lighting
Optimizers adjustment contents to RAW images shot with other
cameras.

Color appears weak in the image when viewed with

other software
O A RAW image which has a color space other than sRGB set (p.67,
p.76) and is then converted and saved as a JPEG or TIFF image will
appear weak in color when viewed in software that is only compatible
with sRGB color space. In this case, set the RAW image color space
to sRGB, convert again to a JPEG or TIFF image and save, and then
view this image.

The colors of the image displayed on screen and
the colors of the printed image do not match
O If the color of the monitor that displays an image is not adjusted
correctly, or if a profile for a printer that is to print images, has not
been set up, the color of the image displayed on screen and the color
of the printed photograph may differ greatly. If the color of the monitor
that displays images is corrected (p.76) and a profile for a printer is
set up correctly (p.76), the color of a printed photograph and the color
of an image on screen can be more closely matched. Using a Canon
printer (p.39, p.42) or linked printing (p.70, p.71) automatically sets up
printer profiles, so you only need to set the color of the monitor to
bring the colors closer together.
O When printing using Easy-PhotoPrint and the Easy-PhotoPrint
automatic compensation function and the various types of image
adjustment functions are operating, colors are not printed correctly.
Cancel all Easy-PhotoPrint image adjustment functions (p.43).
O Even if you set a printer profile, if you use the color adjustment
function of the printer driver, the image may print in colors different
from those displayed on screen. Do not use the color adjustment
function of the printer driver.
Printing a large number of images in batches cannot be performed
O Exit any applications before uninstalling the software.

O Log in under the Computer administrator/Administrator privileges
when uninstalling the software.
O To prevent computer malfunctions, always restart your computer after
you have uninstalled the software. Re-installing the software without

Introduction
RAW image
bit number
EOS DIGITAL camera RAW images are recorded in an uncompressed

14bit or 12bit format.
Because RAW images are special images in an undeveloped status,
you need software with development processing functions such as DPP
in order to view them. The advantage of the undeveloped RAW images
is that you can make a variety of adjustments to RAW images with
almost no deterioration of the image.
* RAW meaning in a natural condition or not processed or refined.
Binary unit of information volume in the color of an image. The number

shows the number of bits per pixel.
The larger the number of bits, the more the color numbers and the
gradation becomes smoother. A one-bit image is a black-and-white
image.
JPEG image
The most ordinary image in non-reversible compressed 8bit format.
The advantage of this is that by saving at a high compression rate, the
file size can be small, even for image data that has a high pixel count.
Because during saving and compression part of the data is thinned out
to make the file size small, every time you edit or save, the image
deteriorates.
With DPP, even if you repeat editing/saving, only the recipe data is
modified, and no overwriting or compression occurs so the original
image data does not deteriorate.
* JPEG is an abbreviation of Joint Photographic Experts Group.
TIFF image
Bitmap-format image recorded in a 8bit/16bit uncompressed format.
Because TIFF images are in uncompressed format, they are suitable for
saving an image while maintaining the original high image quality.
* TIFF is an abbreviation of Tagged Image File Format.
Recipe
The Image processing conditions information for RAW images that can
be edited in DPP is called a recipe.
Further, in DPP, you can perform image editing on JPEG and TIFF
images that use recipes as with RAW images.

Color Management System (Color Matching)

Digital cameras that shoot images, monitors that display images, and
printers that print images each have a different way of creating color. For
this reason, there may be a difference between the color of an image
when viewed on a monitor and when printed.
A color management system is a system for managing color in order to
bring these colors closer together. With DPP, you can more closely
match color between different devices using ICC profiles between
different devices.
ICC profiles
ICC profiles are files containing color information such as color
characteristics and color space for various devices, set by the ICC
(International Color Consortium). Most devices such as the monitor we
use to view images or the printer we use to print images can be
managed (color management) using these ICC profiles and the color
between different devices can be more closely matched.
DPP has color management that uses these ICC profiles.
Tone Curve
A tone curve shows values before adjustment (input) as the horizontal
axis on a graph, and the values after adjustment (output) as the vertical
axis. Since the values of before adjustment and after adjustment are the
same before any adjustment is made, the tone curve displays as a
straight line from bottom left to top right, and by changing this tone
curve, you can adjust in detail the images brightness, contrast and
color. The more you go right on the horizontal axis, the more the plus
value it becomes, and the higher you go on the vertical axis, the more
the plus value it becomes.

Introduction
Color space
CMYK simulation profiles
A color space is the reproducible color range (color gamut

characteristics). DPP supports the following five kinds of color space.
sRGB :
Standard color space for Windows. Widely used for
the standard color space of monitors, digital
cameras, and scanners.
Adobe RGB :
A wider color space than sRGB. Mainly used for
printing for business purposes.
Apple RGB :
Standard color space for Macintosh. A slightly
wider color space than sRGB.
ColorMatch RGB : A slightly wider color space than sRGB. Mainly
used for printing for business purposes.
Wide Gamut RGB : A wider color space than Adobe RGB.
Refer to the color chart below for the color area of each color space.
A profile that simulates colors when printing in a CMYK environment

(printing machine, etc.). With DPP, you can simulate color with four
types of profile.
Euro Standard :
Profile normally used for book printing in
Europe, suitable for simulation of standard
European printing.
JMPA :
Profile normally used for book printing, etc. in
Japan, suitable for simulation of magazine
advertising standard color printing.
U.S.Web Coated :
Profile normally used for book printing in
North America, suitable for simulation of
North American standard printing.
JapanColor2001 type3 : Profile becoming a standard in the Japanese
printing industry, suitable for simulation of
JapanColor standard printing.

Rendering intents are color conversion methods when printing an image.

The conversion method of each rendering intent is shown below.
Perceptual :
Before and after conversion, all colors are
converted to maintain the relationship between
colors. Even where colors slightly change, you
can print a natural-looking image which has
maintained color harmony. However,
depending on the image, the saturation may
change overall.
Relative Colorimetric : There will not be much conversion to colors
which are similar before and after conversion,
but colors which are not similar are converted
appropriately. Because there are little changes
to similar colors which comprise most of an
image, you can print a natural-looking image in
which the saturation has not changed greatly.
However, depending on the image, there are
cases where the overall tone of an image
changes somewhat as colors which are not
similar and highlights change.
