    Using the Bundled Software
    The Setup CD-ROM includes photo applications designed to edit the photographs taken by a 
    digital camera and print them as photo-lab quality prints. Use the application(s) suitable for 
    your print purposes.
    „Easy-PhotoPrint (Windows/Macintosh)
    You can make a Borderless Print easily and quickly, just by selecting a photograph 
    taken with a digital camera and the paper type on which to print it. In addition, it 
    has tools to correct red eye caused by the cameras flash or smooth and beautify 
    facial skin. 
    It is compatible with Exif Print*.
    „PhotoRecord (Windows)
    You can create fun and unique photo albums with decorative themes which include 
    different frames, background, and clip-art. You can also copy or move decorated 
    photos.
    It is compatible with Exif Print*.
    „Easy-WebPrint (Windows)
    You can easily print out homepages displayed on Internet Explorer® in full size 
    without its right-hand side being cropped. This application is automatically added 
    to the Internet Explorer toolbar. Internet Explorer 6.0 is recommended.

    settings and functions such as whether the flash was on or off, if the camera was in portrait or night scene mode, 
    etc.
    Canon PIXMA Printers support Exif Print and use a suitable photo application to read the camera data precisely, 
    producing optimal prints. This enables you to create prints that reproduce color more accurately.
