brightness. Corrects for overall under- or over-exposure of
the original image.
Vivid Intensifies colors and lightens the midtones and highlights.

Notice: Output Viewing
Conditions
Due to the nature of all
pigment inks, lighting
conditions can affect the
appearance of printer
output. For example, a
print viewed under
daylight may appear to
have a slightly different
color balance when
viewed under tungsten
lighting. Care should be
taken that the prints are
produced for the lighting
conditions in which they
will be displayed.
The EPSON printer driver
was designed to
represent color accurately
when prints are
illuminated with a D50
(daylight) light source. For
optimum results,
understand your output
display conditions before
printing.
