Abstract

In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in a method that includes obtaining an image and a corresponding color profile including state information for the image in relation to the color profile, the state information selected from a group including a scene-referred state and an output-referred state; selecting, automatically in response to identification of the state information, a rendering intent for the image, based on the state information and a current task in an imaging workflow, from a group including relative colorimetric rendering intent, perceptual rendering intent and absolute colorimetric rendering intent; converting, automatically in response to the selecting, the image to a new color space based on the color profile and the selected rendering intent; and making the converted image available for processing and output.
