Color Balance Adjustment

Independently set and register color settings in the printer driver

With Easy-PhotoPrint Pro, colors can be freely adjusted in the PIXMA Pro9500/Pro9000. Adjustments include Color Balance, Brightness and Contrast. This new system reflects the user's intended coloring, by allowing color settings for specific types of art paper, or creating colors finely-tuned for each object of shooting.

Color Balance Adjustment

1. Slide bars

For users who have specific target/intented colors in mind, slide bars are provided to make fine adjustments to cyan, magenta and yellow values.

2. Pattern Print

For users that are not quite sure which color value to increase or decrease, or would like to preview the changes first on the actual printout, "Pattern Print" function is offered. This automatically creates simulated images with varying color balance as specified by the user, and prints out the results on a sheet of paper. Users can then determine color balance after previewing that printout. Users can also keep the printed sheet for another print opportunity, so that they can reproduce the same settings as a basis for a new color adjustment.

Input

The cyan, magenta and yellow parameter values are printed out right below each image. That way, users can simply type in those values to return the color balance to their preferred one.

Prints samples where yellow, red, magenta, blue, cyan and green are varied based on the original image (shown in the red frame). This allows users to select their most preferred coloring by checking the actual printout, including slight color differences.

Users that want to make even more detailed changes to the color balance can use the function that prints samples where yellow, red, magenta, blue, cyan and green can be individually varied. When wanting to increase red, choose to print in Direction R and up to 48 simulated images are output. Original image is at the bottom left.
