Using PRINT Image Matching

With PRINT Image Matching, 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 (P.I.M. or P.I.M II), you can use this technology when you print with:

■P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop

Using Film Factory

If your digital camera supports PRINT Image Matching, P.I.M. II, 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.

For instructions on using Film Factory, see the on-screen Getting Started Guide in your Film Factory program group or folder.

Using the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop

The P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop allows you to retain the P.I.M. or Exif Print image quality when you import JPEG or TIFF files from your P.I.M.- or Exif Print-enabled digital camera. The P.I.M. II Plug-in works with Photoshop 6.0 and 7.0, and Photoshop Elements 1.0 and 2.0. You’ll also need to use the ICC profiles for your printer that are installed with the plug-in (Windows) or the printer driver (Macintosh).
