because it simply works
Perceptual
Roughly speaking this intent compresses the colors of the Source
Space into the Print Space. Images will loose some of their saturation (compared to the monitors full-gamut-view), but overall the
image will retain its “look-and-feel”.
Saturation
Initially this method was planned for “clean, saturated” colors
like they are being used in business graphic. For a photographic
output this intent should not be used at all. Most profiles do not
even contain this rendering intent.
Relative colorimetric
This intent outputs the colors of your image one-to-one on your
printing system (like you see them on your monitor). Images with
highly saturated colors or dark shades (e.g. a man with a black suit
in front of a dark background) will eventually loose contrast and
details. Sometimes the printouts will look too dark.
Relative Colorimetric with Black Point Compensation (BPC)
To compensate for the loose of contrast and details in the dark
shadows you can activate the option “Black Point Compensation”.
This will bring back the details in the dark shadows, but the image
will be lightened up in the very dark tones.
