(2)Monochrome Effects
Prints a color image in a single color. Select the check box and choose a color or use 
a custom color using Select Color.
(3)Vivid Photo
By using this function, you can reproduce breathtaking sceneries in which colors, 
especially blues and greens, appear even more vibrant. A major feature of this 
function is its ability to create vivid backgrounds of Þelds, trees, oceans, and sky, while 
maintaining the natural skin tones of people that appear in the images.
(4)Image Optimizer
Improves the contours and jaggedness that occur when photographic or graphic 
image data is enlarged within an application.
(5)Photo Optimizer PRO
Optimizes the color of images taken from a digital camera or scanner. It is especially 
effective for images affected by color imbalance and over- or under exposure.
When printing several images on one page, optimisation is usually applied to each 
image according to its requirements. However, if the image data has been 
manipulated using cut and paste, rotation or other such operations, group optimisation 
of all images on the one page is recommended. In such cases, select the Apply 
Throughout Page check box. 
(6)Photo Noise Reduction
Select to reduce noise when printing photos taken with a digital camera. This function 
is particularly effective when printing pictures with blue or dark colors in the sky.
The level of the effect can be selected from the pull-down menu, though in ordinary 
cases Normal is recommended.
