Figure 6-40

Your printer (and the printer at the lab) has a specii c range of colors it can print,
called its color gamut . Perceptual rendering compresses the range of colors in
the photo to preserve their visual appearance on the print. Relative keeps all the
colors in the photo that the printer can reproduce as-is, and clips the out-of-
gamut colors to their nearest equivalent.
