Using KODAK Image Manager
With one click, Kodak’s exclusive Image Manager lets you choose the best 
image settings for your presentation type.
Important:The KODAK Image Manager settings work best if you select Reset 
from the Adjust tab each time before selecting an Image Manager 
setting.
Move the cursor to the option you want, then click the left or right navigation 
button.
Photos (PC) matches the higher contrast found on a standard PC monitor. 
This feature is best for:
• images created on a PC
• images from a KODAK digital camera
• a starting point for video input.
Photos (MAC) 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 high contrast needed to project graphics and text 
against solid colored backgrounds.
