Color Adjustment in Black and White Printing

Color tones in black and white printing are delicate. In Professional Print & Layout, you can finely adjust color tones for black and white printing. Produce subtle color tones by combining with color adjustment of the image editing software. In addition, you can print with the same settings repeatedly since the specified settings can be registered.

Besides selecting Cool Tone, Black and White, or Warm Tone, use the functions such as Highlight and Shadow to finely adjust the brightness and darkness or use Curves to finely adjust the brightness and contrast.

In addition, in order to find the color tone you want, use Pattern Print to view images with slightly varying color tones at one time.

Tip

Color Tones Suitable for Photos

Even for black and white photos, the impression changes with the color tone. To transform a black and white photo into the work of art you wish, the color tone needs to be adjusted according to how you want the work to look.

Example:
Photos of people: Select a warm color such as Warm Tone for a warm finish.

Photos of buildings: Select a cool color such as Cool Tone for a clean finish.
