USE BLACK POINT COMPENSATION
Check this box to set the default state
of the various color management
options throughout Capture NX to
utilize Black Point Compensation.
Black Point Compensation ensures
that the black point from the image
is mapped to the black point of your
printer, ensuring that the full color
range of the printer is used. If your
prints contain either gray shadows or
too little detail, try turning this option
off. It is recommended that you always
use this option, except when you notice
problems with a specific printer and
profile combination.
DEFAULT RGB COLOR SPACE
Use this option to set the default RGB
space that is used for your images.
USE THIS INSTEAD OF EMBEDDED

This option causes Capture NX to
automatically convert the image from
the embedded profile to the profile as
defined in the Default RGB space.
PRINTER PROFILE
This preference enables you to set the
default profile to use for your printer as
well as within the Soft Proof feature.
USE THIS PROFILE WHEN PRINTING

the color profile within the color manage-
ment section of the print dialog to the
profile set with the Printer Profile option.
