Before Image Enhance After Image Enhance
Fiery Image Enhance provides the greatest value in environments with the following scenarios:
• PDF files — For many production environments, files are received in PDF format, so if a photo’s image quality is poor, there is no way
to correct it except by obtaining the native file. This process can be time consuming, and manipulating the native file can be difficult or
impossible if the user doesn’t have the appropriate application.
• Amateur photos — In the quick-print market, customers often bring digital photos for printing that are not done professionally and
have less than optimal lighting in the background. The photo’s printed output can be automatically optimized upfront without wasting
any production time or pages.
Benefits:
Makes quick and easy corrections for photographs and all of the images in a job without operator intervention.
Offers one-click photo enhancements without the time or expense of traditional photo manipulation.
Chooses the optimal exposure and color tone to bring out the picture’s utmost brilliance.
