Group 2_Color Settings: ChromaBlast R1900 Driver
This tab gives you access to all of the color management controls available in ChromaBlast
R1900 Driver Tab . Color correction allows you to create transfers from all kinds of images,
from photorealistic images to spot color logos. For maximum flexibility, ChromaBlast
R1900 Driver Tab lets you color correct bitmap and vector elements differently, even if
they are in the same graphics file. For example, if you scan a photograph and import it
into CorelDraw, ChromaBlast R1900 Driver Tab will use the color management settings
that have been selected for Bitmap. If you then add text on top of the bitmap image,
ChromaBlast R1900 Driver Tab will use the color management settings that have been
selected for Vector. The photograph and the text will be color corrected differently!
Why? You can now sublimate images with realistic photographic backgrounds that have
vivid spot color text.
Vector and Bitmap Explanation
Bitmaps consist of a grid of pixels. Bitmaps come from digital cameras, scanners,
and photo CDs. Bitmaps can also be created in applications like Corel PhotoPaint or
Adobe PhotoShop. Bitmaps have file extensions like GIF, JPG, BMP, and TIF . Vector
components consist of shapes, curves, lines, and text. They are created in programs
such as CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator . Higher end programs like CorelDraw can
combine Vector and Bitmaps into a single image. As a rule of thumb, if the object in
your image is made of curves, text, shapes, or fills, it will be color corrected using the
ChromaBlast R1900 Driver Tab settings. All other image types will be color corrected
based on the ChromaBlast R1900 Driver Tab Bitmap setting.
Bitmap & Vector Options
• No Color Management - All color management will be accomplished using the
Graphic Design Software .
• Graphics - This setting is most suitable for reproducing life-like
clipart.
• Photographic - This setting is most suitable for reproducing skin tones
in scanned photographs.
• ColorSure Checkbox - ColorSure is used to replace specific colors in your image
with a spot color chosen from the ColorSure palette. This resulting spot color
enhancement is not affected by color setting. A ColorSure spot color will ALWAYS
print the same.
