3.12 To Make Low-resolution Data Look Finer

(To soften an image)

Print data

Before the adjustment

After the adjustment

Unadjusted settings.

A smoother (softer) image is obtained.

Explanation

When a low-resolution image is printed, the edges may be jagged. Decrease the sharpness intensity, in order to

eliminate the jaggies from the print image.

* The sharpness adjustment will have an effect particularly on photo images, such as BMP, GIF, JPEG and TIFF.
