    Adjust the Colors by Color Matching
    Adjust the Colors by Color Matching
    When you print a color image imported from a scanner or a digital camera, the image may appear different from the
    image on the screen. That is due to the differences in color on the screen and in the printer. In Print Plug-In for Photo- shop/Digital Photo Professional, you can get the color balance of the print product closer to the color balance displayed
    on the screen through performing ICC (International Color Consortium) color profile settings, matching method settings,
    and settings for the internal profile, which performs optimum color conversion in response to media and resolution set- tings.
