In gamut mapping, the rendering intent (rendering priority) is the strategy by which colours are converted from one colour space to another.
Depending on the CMS, e.g. by Adobe or Apple, the rendering intents can differ slightly, as they are not standardized.
There are four types of rendering intents, defined by ICC:
- Perceptual
- Saturation
- Absolute Colorimetric
- Relative Colorimetric
