The Brightness slider adjusts how light or dark your prints will be. It does not force
colors to white or black, so no data is lost, though it may become less visible at one
end, as the adjustment is made. Use the Brightness slider to lighten your images with
a positive slider value if they consistently look like there is a gray film over them. Use
the Brightness slider to darken your images with a negative slider value if they
consistently look washed out.
The Contrast slider adds punch to images, or reduces it. With a positive Contrast slider
adjustment, dark areas become darker, while light areas become lighter. A negative
Contrast adjustment will make images more neutral, with fewer near white and near
black tones.
The Saturation slider adjusts how saturated the colors in your images will appear. It
cannot make color more brilliant than your ink and paper combination are capable of,
but within those limits, if your images look consistently dull and foggy, than a positive
Saturation slider adjustment will improve this condition. If colors look too punchy and
unreal in your images, and skintones are too heavily colored, then a negative
Saturation slider adjustment will improve your results.
Some types of uses require punchier, more colorful images. While it would be possible
to edit each image to make a special version for such uses, editing the printer profile
once will create a special profile version for producing this type of postcard image
whenever needed.
