What I understood after reading Real World Color Management is that Relative maps white 
in the source to white in the destination and that it reproduces all in-gamut colors exactly 
while clipping out-of-gamut colors to the closest reproducible hue. Jeff Schewe indicates 
that it preserves the overall tonal relationships better than most other options. So I guess I 
am asking if that is also characteristic of you Relative rendering intent.

I understood in an earlier reply from David Miller that your Saturation intent responds 
differently than most others as it has been optimized for photography. I think that's great. 
I have ordered Spyder 3 Print, so I am just trying to understand a little bit about what's 
going on with the Relative setting as an option, even though I know you recommend 
saturation.

Thanks,
