Lesson 1 Digital Printing Workflow

Print and Transform Photos into Works of Art

By printing and transforming photos into works of art, you can convey rich impressions that cannot be represented on a monitor. In addition, you can enjoy various forms of representation such as framing, photo collection and gift for friends.

Recommended Workflow Employing Professional Print & Layout

Use Professional Print & Layout to print photos beautifully as you wish. Images developed/corrected in "Digital Photo Professional" (RAW image editing software provided by Canon), Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or Adobe Photoshop Lightroom can also be printed while maintaining the same impression.
