automatically identify and analyse primary
subjects. Colour balance is then corrected
to assure fresh, natural skin tones.
Improved new PhotoEnhance technology
automatically analyses images to determine if they
contain people, scenery, or other subjects and then
performs optimum enhancement to suit the content.
In addition, it can correct colour even when images
are backlit, poorly exposed, or have an unwanted
colour cast.

Backlight correction
Colour cast correction
Scenic photo colour correction
When image analysis indicates that the
main subjects are underexposed,
PhotoEnhance optimises both exposure
and colour balance to assure beautiful
results automatically.
Unwanted colour tints, known as colour
casts, can also be detected and
automatically corrected to ensure
consistently beautiful results without any
user intervention.
When analysis indicates that an image is
a scenic photo, correction algorithms
deliver the rich, saturated blue and green
colour tones that are a hallmark of Epson
inkjet printing.
