Optimal Photo Printing of Image Data
When people print images taken with digital cameras, they sometimes feel that the printed
color tones differ from those of actual image or those displayed on the monitor.
To get the print results as close as possible to the desired color tones, you must select a
printing method that is best suited to the application software used or to your purpose.
Color Management
Devices such as digital cameras, scanners, monitors, and printers handle color differently.
Color management (color matching) is a method that manages device-dependent "colors"
as a common color space.
For Windows, a color management system called "ICM" is built into the operating system.
Adobe RGB and sRGB are popularly used as common color spaces. Adobe RGB has a
wider color space than sRGB.
ICC profiles convert device-dependent "colors" into a common color space. By using an
ICC profile and carrying out color management, you can draw out the color space of the
image data within the color reproduction area that the printer can express.
Selecting a Printing Method Suited to the Image Data
The recommended printing method depends on the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of
the image data or the application software to be used.
There are two typical printing methods.
Check the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data and the application
software to be used, and then select the printing method suited to your purpose.
Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver
Describes the procedure for printing sRGB data by using the color correction function of the
printer driver.
•
To print using Canon Digital Photo Color
The printer prints data with color tints that most people prefer, reproducing colors of the
original image data and producing three-dimensional effects and high, sharp contrasts.
•
To print by directly applying editing and touch-up results of an application software
When printing the data, the printer brings out subtle color difference between dark and
light areas, while leaving the darkest and lightest areas intact.
When printing the data, the printer applies fine adjustment results, such as brightness
adjustments made with an application software.
