•White Balance
This setting adjusts the hue of the white 
areas of an image. Lighting, camera 
settings and other influences will effect the 
appearance of white. The white areas of a 
picture may be slightly pink, yellow or 
some other colour. By using this setting, 
you can correct that effect and bring the 
white areas back to pure white.
•Sharpness
This setting enhances the detail of an 
image, similar to adjusting the fine focus 
on a camera. If the image is not in true 
focus and you cannot see the fine details 
of the picture, then adjust the sharpness.
•Colour Density
This setting adjusts the total amount of 
colour in the image. You can increase or 
decrease the amount of colour in an 
image to improve a washed out or weak 
picture.

standard to make it easier to print images 
from a digital camera.
