This feature analyzes your image to improve its sharpness, white balance and density. This process may take several minutes depending on the size of the image and the specifications of your PC.
• | Colour Density Adjusts the total amount of colour in the image. You can increase or decrease the amount of colour in an image to improve a washed out or weak looking picture. |
• | White Balance Adjusts the hue of the white areas of an image. Lighting, camera settings and other influences will effect the appearance of white. The white areas of a picture may be slightly pink, yellow or some other colour. By adjusting the white balance you can adjust those white areas. |
• | Sharpness Enhances the detail of an image, similar to adjusting the fine focus on a camera. If the image is not in true focus and you cannot see the fine details of the picture, then adjust the sharpness. |
• | Auto Image Enhance Allows alteration of individual picture settings to improve the printed image and analyzes data from surrounding or neighbouring pixels in the document. |
• | Brightness Adjusts the brightness of the whole image. To lighten or darken the image, move the scroll bar to the left or right. |
• | Contrast Adjusts the contrast of an image. This will make darker areas darker and lighter areas lighter. Increase the contrast when you want an image to be clearer. Decrease the contrast when you want an image to be more subdued. |
• | Red Increases the intensity of Red in the image. |
• | Green Increases the intensity of Green in the image. |
• | Blue Increases the intensity of Blue in the image. |
