Configuring Adobe Photoshop
Elements 2.0
Adobe Photoshop Elements offers simple but
effective color management. To configure Adobe
Photoshop Elements for the EPSON scan-to-print
workflow, follow these simple steps:
1
Choose Color Settings from the Edit menu
(Mac OS 9, Windows), or the Photoshop
Elements menu (Mac OS X).
The Color Settings window appears:
22
2
Choose Full color management —
optimized for Print, then click OK.
Choosing this option sets Photoshop
Elements to use the Adobe RGB (1998)
color space for all your work. Adobe RGB
(1998) is large enough to hold all the colors
you can print on your EPSON printer. The
other two options offered by Photoshop
Elements, sRGB (Web graphics) and
monitor RGB (No color management), are
smaller color spaces that can clip some
printable colors.
That's all you need to do to configure
Photoshop Elements for the workflow. If
you plan to use both Photoshop Elements
and Photoshop, read the following section.
Otherwise, you can skip ahead to "Scanning
with LaserSoft SilverFast" on page 23.
