Touching Up Your Photos

This printer lets you correct the color and improve the
image quality of your photos without using a
computer. Two basic types of adjustments are
available:
■
Automatic adjustments
If your camera supports PRINT Image Matching
or Exif Print, you can use the printer's P.I.M. or
Exif Print setting to automatically adjust your
photos for the best results.
If your camera doesn't support PRINT Image
Matching or Exif Print, you can use
TM
PhotoEnhance to make adjustments for the
type of environment in which your photos were
taken.
■
Manual adjustments
If your photos are too light or too dark, you can
adjust their brightness or control the saturation
and sharpness.
If you want, you can make manual adjustments
while P.I.M., Exif Print, or PhotoEnhance are
turned on in order to fine-tune your automatic
settings.
Note:
❏ These settings affect only your printed pictures. They do not
change your original image files.
❏ These settings are saved when you turn off the printer or choose
a different set of photos, so remember to turn off the settings
when you're done.
