1.7.x Rendering intent/BPC scope clarification?

[BeauRX]

In 1.6.x the rendering intent and BPC options appeared in the SoftProof and printing dialogs so the scope of the settings seemed pretty intuitive. Clearly moving the settings from print dialogs to AP Preferences allows persisting them.

I just wanted to clarify that the settings in Preferences apply only to printing and those in soft proof locally override the preference only for the soft proof.

Thanks

I don't think the options have moved from the Printing dialog (at least on Windows, which still shows Rendering Intent in the Print dialog), and I think the Preferences you mention were there in 1.6, too. But, no longer having a machine with 1.6 I can't confirm that.

But reading the Help, I believe that the settings in Preferences apply only when Opening a document (not printing), and control what happens if you've told Affinity to convert documents to your working color space.

Cancel that...

I'm using the Mac version. It looks like I was mistaken about which settings were where. I have a Canon multi-function/photo printer MG8220 (not dedicate photo printer) which apparently does not have the RI/BPC in the driver settings either with 1.6.x nor 1.7.x. But thanks for your help anyway.
