Using Film Factory If your digital camera supports PRINT Image Matching, P.I.M. II, or Exif Print, you can use these technologies when you print with Film Factory to ensure the most accurate image reproduction. Printing with P.I.M. isn't complicated, and it provides the color corrections right from your P.I.M. image file, so you don't have to correct them yourself. Just leave the PRINT Image Matching box checked. You can also use Film Factory to organize, retouch, and print non-P.I.M. and non-Exif Print digital images. For instructions on using Film Factory, see the on-screen Getting Started Guide in your Film Factory program group or folder. Using the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop The P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop allows you to retain the P.I.M. or Exif Print image quality when you import JPEG or TIFF files from your P.I.M.- or Exif Print-enabled digital camera. The P.I.M. II Plug-in works with Photoshop 7.0 and 6.0, and Photoshop Elements 1.0 and 2.0. You'll also need to use the ICC profiles for your printer that are installed with the plug-in (Windows) or the printer driver (Macintosh). Photoshop doesn't retain the PRINT Image Matching or Exif Print information separately in the header file when you import your P.I.M. or Exif Print image. Instead, it converts that information in the file and embeds a color space called EPSON RGB 2001. This profile supports all the P.I.M. color advantages and enhancements. You can crop, rotate, resize, work with layers, play with filters, and even make selective color adjustments to the P.I.M. image while retaining P.I.M. quality. However, you won't benefit from global color adjustments (such as Auto Levels, Auto Contrast, Auto Color, etc.). Also, if you try to use your new Photoshop file in another P.I.M.-enabled software program, it won't be recognized as a P.I.M. image. You need to keep your original file if you want to take advantage of P.I.M. information in other programs. For instructions on using the P.I.M. II Plug-in, double-click the P.I.M. II plug-in.pdf icon on your desktop. 42 Printing From Start to Finish
