This function manipulates color image with certain effects. Select the check box and adjust the brightness of the image with the Contrast slide bar.

Prints a color image in a single color. Select the check box and choose a color or use a custom color using Select Color.

(3)  Vivid Photo

By using this function, you can reproduce breathtaking sceneries in which colors, especially blues and greens, appear even more vibrant. A major feature of this function is its ability to create vivid backgrounds of fields, trees, oceans, and sky, while maintaining the natural skin tones of people that appear in the images.

(4)  Photo Optimizer PRO

Optimizes the color of images taken from a digital camera or scanner. It is especially effective for images affected by color imbalance and over- or under exposure.

When printing several images on one printing page, optimization is usually applied to each image according to its requirements. However, if the image data has been manipulated using clipping, rotation or other such operations, group optimization of all images on the page is recommended. In such cases, select the Apply Throughout Page check box.

(5)  Photo Noise Reduction

When printing images recorded with your digital cameras, blue sky may be dappled or dark appearing rough. You can reduce this effect with the Photo Noise Reduction function. Using this function with photographs other than those taken with a digital camera may cause images to be disturbed.

Color Panel

(4)  Gamma Correction
