Kodak Menu
Kodak’s exclusive Image Manager feature allows you to select the 
image display setting best suited for your specific presentation 
material and projection environment.
Image Manager Settings
Photo-PC Setting matches the higher contrast found on a standard 
PC monitor. This option is best for:
• images created on a PC
• images from a KODAK digital camera
• a starting point for composite or S-video inputs.
Photo-Mac Setting matches the lower contrast found on a standard 
MACINTOSH monitor. It is generally used for images created on or 
for a MACINTOSH. This setting also works well with a PC if you are 
using higher than normal contrast PC images.
Rich Colors results in an image with deep contrast and saturated 
vibrant colors. It is generally used under bright lighting conditions. 
This setting works well to enhance colors of certain graphics and it 
may be useful when images created for a MACINTOSH are displayed 
from a PC.
Spreadsheets results in an image with contrast between a PC and 
MACINTOSH monitor. It is generally used for text-rich tables, such 
as financial displays. This setting factors in ambient light, subject 
matter, and personal preferences to deliver the right balance of 
contrast and brightness.
Graphics delivers the maximum brightness and high contrast needed 
to project graphics and text against solid colored backgrounds.
