Using PhotoEnhance, Custom, and
Advanced Settings
When you’re printing special projects, you can customize your printer software
settings, as described in these sections:
“Using PhotoEnhance” below
“Using Custom Settings” on page 15
“Using Advanced Settings” on page 15
For additional information on these settings, see the electronic Reference Guide, as
described on page 3.
Using PhotoEnhance
The printer software includes PhotoEnhance
options that increase image
brightness and contrast to improve the appearance of low-resolution photos. You
can also add special effects, such as Soft Focus.
To use PhotoEnhance, you must select
Color
ink; you cannot turn on
PhotoEnhance with
Black
ink selected.
If your photograph was taken with a digital camera, you can select
Digital
Camera Correction
to give your printed images the appearance of photographs
taken with a film camera.
For more fine-tuning, click
Standard
. You see a list of specialized settings for
photographs. Select the setting that most closely matches your photograph
(
People
or
Nature)
or select one of the special filters (
Soft Focus
or
Sepia
). You
may need to experiment with these settings to get the exact look you want,
especially if you have multiple images on a page.
For more details on the printer settings, see your electronic Reference Guide, as
described on page 3, or online help.
I
If you’re printing high-resolution images, you may want to use the
Automatic setting instead; see page 7 (Windows) or page 12 (Macintosh).
PhotoEnhance does not affect your original image; it only affects your
printout. Printing with PhotoEnhance may take longer on some systems
and images.
