Group 2 - Color Settings (Advanced Mode)
Overview
This tab gives you access to all of the color management controls available in PowerDriverSupra 1800 XG8 . Color correction allows you to create transfers from all kinds of images, from photorealistic images to spot color logos. For maximum flexibility, PowerDriverSupra 1800 XG8 lets you color correct bitmap and vector elements differently, even if they are in the same graphics file. For example, if you scan a photograph and import it into CorelDraw, PowerDriver will use the color management settings that have been selected for Bitmap. If you then add text on top of the bitmap image, PowerDriver will use the color management settings that have been selected for Vector. The photograph and the text will be color corrected differently! Why? You can now sublimate images with realistic photographic backgrounds that have vivid spot color text.
Vector and Bitmap Explanation
Bitmaps are a grid of pixels. Bitmaps come from digital cameras, scanners, and photo CDs. Bitmaps can also be created in applications like Corel PhotoPaint or Adobe PhotoShop. Bitmaps have file extensions like GIF, JPG, BMP, and TIF. Vector components consist of shapes, curves, lines, and text. They are created in programs such as CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator. Higher end programs like CorelDraw can combine Vector and Bitmaps into a single image. As a rule of thumb, if the object in your image is made of curves, text, shapes, or fills, it will be color corrected using the PowerDriver Vector settings. All other image types will be color corrected based on the PowerDriverSupra 1800 XG8 Bitmap setting.
Bitmap & Vector Options
Intense – This kicks the color intensity and saturation to the extreme. This setting does not try to keep color accurate; its main goal is to produce deep dark colors. Artwork, graphics, logos, and text are good candidates for this setting. Some photographs will look good but typically, this setting is too intense to be used with photographs. This can be set for either Bitmap or Vector images.
Vivid – This setting is most suitable for images where it is important that the colors are vivid and contrast well with each other. Artwork, graphics, logos, and text, as well as photographs of landscapes or still life are good candidates for the Vivid setting. This can be set for either Bitmap or Vector images.
Saturated - The Saturated setting will make the colors in your image more intense. Saturated output tries to remain color accurate with a slight bump in intensity.
Realistic (Bitmap ONLY) - This setting is most suitable for reproducing skin tones in scanned photographs.
Original (Vector ONLY) - This setting is most suitable for reproducing
ColorSure Checkbox - ColorSure is used to replace specific colors in your image with a spot color chosen from the ColorSure palette. This resulting spot color enhancement is not affected by color setting. A ColorSure spot color will ALWAYS print the same. See Appendix C for an overview of ColorSure.
