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 images you want to print are displayed in Thumbnails area at bottom of screen.

  2. On Correction tab, adjust Brightness and Contrast.

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

    • 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.
