Using PRINT Image Matching 73
Using PRINT Image Matching
With PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M. or P.I.M. II), special print instructions are saved in
your digital photo files. For example, macro mode pictures might include print commands for
sharpness and clarity, while portrait mode pictures might emphasize soft focusing and subtle
flesh tones. If your digital camera supports PRINT Image Matching, you can use this
technology when you print with one of the following:
■ Film Factory, as described below
■ P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, as described on page 77
■ ArcSoft PhotoImpression (see the help utility that comes with the program for printing
instructions)
Using Film Factory
If your digital camera supports PRINT Image Matching or Exif Print, you can use these
technologies when you print with Film Factory to ensure the most accurate image
reproduction (not available with Macintosh OS X). Printing with P.I.M. isn’t complicated,
and it provides the color corrections right from your P.I.M. image file, so you don’t have to
correct them yourself. Just leave the
PRINT Image Matching box checked.
You can also use Film Factory to organize, retouch, and print non-P.I.M. and non-Exif Print
digital images.
Note: If you’re using Mac OS X and want to print P.I.M.- and Exif Print-enabled
digital photos, you can use the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop (described
on page 77) if you have Photoshop 6.0 or 7.0, or Photoshop Elements 1.0 or 2.0.
