Using PRINT Image Matching

With PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M. or P.I.M. II), special print instructions are saved in your digital photo files. For example, macro mode pictures might include print commands for sharpness and clarity, while portrait mode pictures might emphasize soft focusing and subtle flesh tones. If your digital camera supports PRINT Image Matching, you can use this technology when you print with one of the following:

■Film Factory, as described below

■P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, as described on page 82

Using Film Factory

If your digital camera supports PRINT Image Matching or Exif Print, you can use these technologies when you print with Film Factory to ensure the most accurate image reproduction. Printing with P.I.M. isn’t complicated, and it provides the color corrections right from your P.I.M. image file, so you don’t have to correct them yourself. Just leave the PRINT Image Matching box checked.

You can also use Film Factory to organize, retouch, and print non-P.I.M. and non-Exif Print digital images.
