Adjust the visual appearance of prints by setting the following values:
- Chroma: Choose from three levels of chroma boost for the perceptual rendering intent. The default setting is Normal, which indicates that no adjustments are made to the chroma of the reproduction. The Colorful mode provides a modest boost of color. Select this mode to create slightly more chromatic output. The Vivid mode provides a more aggressive (large) boost of color. Select this mode when highly saturated colors are the goal.
- Lightness: Adjust the lightness of the printed colors. Moving the control to larger negative values will progressively darken the reproduced colors. Moving the control to larger positive values will progressively lighten the reproduced colors.
- Contrast: Adjust the global contrast of the printed colors. Setting the control to higher values will increase the contrast of the reproduced colors. Setting the control to lower values will reduce the contrast of the reproduced colors. At the midpoint (0) the original contrast is preserved.
- Shadow lightness: Increase the lightness in dark colored regions selectively while maintaining the lightness in brighter tones. There are three levels of Lighten shadows adjustment: slight, medium, and high. These settings progressively increase the brightness in the darker tone regions. Use these adjustments to enhance the detail in the darker tones.
- Click OK or select another tab.
