Features of the Print Plug-In for Photoshop/Digital Photo Professional

The main features of the Print Plug-In for Photoshop/Digital Photo Professional are as follows.
• You can automatically detect the color space of Adobe RGB or sRGB-use images, etc., and automatically set opti-
mal profiles. Thus, you can print without the trouble of configuring settings.
You can modify image data directly in Photoshop and send the image data to the printer. This allows you to proc-
•
ess not only 8-bit, but also 16-bit image data.
• By using the preview function for images based on real images, and the preview function for layouts based on
image positioning by media size, you can use this software to make color adjustments and confirm print layout.
• You can perform basic printer settings such as printer selection, media type and output profile selection, and
matching methods, in addition to borderless printing and enlargement/reduction process without growing through
the printer driver.
• You can print an image with adjustment values such as the color balance, brightness, and contrast varying in
steps and select your preferred adjustment values. (See "Adjustment pattern setting dialog box.")
• You can create and print a layout image for finishing by mounting in a frame with the image extended to the sides
of the frame by using the Layout Plug-In that is installed at the same time as the Print Plug-In for Photoshop. (See
"About the Layout Plug-In.")
By using the print history management function, you can import past print settings parameters. Additionally, you
•
can save preferences as a file.
•
The actual output may differ from the settings in Print Plug-In for Photoshop/Digital Photo Professional (the arrangement of the
image in the layout preview, print start position, and paper size) depending on the media type, image size, paper detailed
Note
settings, and printer main unit settings.
Loss of gradation in dark areas can be reduced by performing black point compensation.
•
•
Adobe CMM is required in order to use the black point compensation function.
Note
• You can perform a printer simulation print by specifying the printer profile.
