Media
software, such as image development, browsing, selection, retouching, and printing.
It helps users to efficiently make operations such as a production of large format digital photo
prints and poster creation using digital photo images.
Auto image retouching
With Canon proprietary auto image retouching technology, anyone can easily make high-quality
photo prints of large format.
For instance, thanks to its human face detection function and optimized brightness control, it
automatically detects human faces that appear too dark in a picture since they were taken under
backlight conditions or in evening scenes, and then it retouches the image adjusting the color of
human faces to favorable color without spoiling atmosphere of surroundings or backgrounds.
Linking with other applications including PosterArtist and Adobe Photoshop
Users can transfer input image files to other applications such as PosterArtist and Adobe
Photoshop with a very simple operation. After selecting a thumbnail of a desired input image, just
one click on a desired application's icon on the launcher transfers the image to the application.
(It is OK to drag and drop the thumbnail onto the application's icon on the launcher, as well.)
Saving imported and retouched images (to be supported in Version 1.1, scheduled for release
in Fall)
Imported image files and images that are retouched after importing can be saved.
Simple print settings
Large format print settings including a roll media print setting, that tend to be rather complicated,
can easily be performed with user friendly designed UI. Even users not used to a large-format
printing operation can easily produce large format prints.
Q. What kind of editing is possible through auto image retouching?
Canon propriety image retouching technology enables automatic face detection of subjects in
backlit or evening scenes where the subject is too dark, and then it can brighten the subject
without affecting the mood of the scene. Its special processing also prevents images from losing
vividness and appearing flat when the overall brightness is increased.
Q. Can the level of auto image retouching be adjusted?
No, this is not possible. Automatic image retouching is designed to provide easy and attractive
adjustment, and specialized algorithms are used for multiple operations in image processing.
Simple adjustments such as tuning brightness or contrast are not supported.
