Using the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop
The P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop allows you to retain the PRINT Image Matching
or Exif Print image quality when you import JPEG or TIFF files from your P.I.M.-, P.I.M. II-,
or Exif Print-enabled digital camera. The P.I.M. II Plug-in works with Photoshop 7.0, 6.0,
and Photoshop Elements 1.0 and 2.0. You’ll also need to use the ICC profiles for your printer
that are installed with the plug-in (Windows) or the printer driver (Macintosh).
Photoshop doesn’t retain the PRINT Image Matching or Exif Print information separately in
the header file when you import your P.I.M., P.I.M II, or Exif Print image. Instead, it converts
that information in the file and embeds a color space called EPSON RGB 2001. This profile
supports all the P.I.M. color advantages and enhancements.
You can crop, rotate, resize, work with layers, play with filters, and even make selective color
adjustments to the P.I.M. image while retaining P.I.M. quality. However, you won’t benefit
from global color adjustments (such as Auto Levels, Auto Contrast, Auto Color, etc.). Also, if
you try to use your new Photoshop file in another P.I.M.-enabled software program, it won’t
be recognized as a P.I.M. image. You need to keep your original file if you want to take
advantage of P.I.M. information in other programs.
Importing a P.I.M. Image
Note: The examples in the sections below show Macintosh screens. Windows
screens look slightly different, but the settings are the same.
1. If you’re using Photoshop Elements, change your color settings before importing a P.I.M.
image. Select

optimized for Print
and click OK.
