Adjusting the Color Balance, Brightness and Contrast

Adjust the color tones of images by specifying the color balance, brightness and contrast.

Important

  • The color balance, brightness and contrast adjustments apply to all the images to be printed. To adjust each image individually, it is recommended that you use image editing software.
  • The results of adjustments in Print Studio Pro will only be reflected in the printed materials and not in the image data.

  1. Make sure that the images you want to print are displayed in the Thumbnails area at the bottom left of the screen.

  2. Adjust Color Balance in Correction.

    Important

    • The color balance cannot be set when the Print Black and White Photo checkbox is selected in Print Settings. If the Print Black and White Photo checkbox is selected after changing the color balance, the changed color balance will be discarded.
      When using Pro9500 Mark II series or Pro9000 Mark II series, adjust the color tone in Color Balance even when printing black and white photos.

    • If the result of printing after adjusting the color balance is different from what is displayed in print preview, perform Pattern Print and adjust the color again, using the pattern as a reference.

    Note

    • Move the slider to the right to emphasize and left to weaken the color tone.
    • You can also set by entering a value directly into the text input box.

  3. Adjust Brightness and Contrast.

    Note

    • For Brightness, move the slider to the right to brighten and left to darken.
    • For Contrast, move the slider to the right to increase and left to decrease the contrast.
    • You can also set by entering a value directly into the text input box.
