HP Digital Imaging Options dialog box
The HP Digital Imaging settings should be used only on high-resolution images (600 dpi or higher) that
are printed on photograph-quality paper. These settings are not recommended for text.
The following settings can be adjusted on the
HP Digital Imaging Options
dialog box:
Contrast Enhancement
. This setting has an
Automatic
check box and a slide bar ranging
from
Off
to
High
. Use the
Contrast Enhancement
setting to increase image contrast for a more
visually pleasing result. This filter is useful with flat images (images in which much of the image
content is compressed into a small dynamic range of pixel values). Flat images can result from low
lighting, environmental haze, or camera or scanner limitations.
Digital Flash
. This setting has an
Automatic
check box and a slide bar ranging from
Off
to
High
. Use the
Digital Flash
setting to adjust lighting levels to reveal areas in shadow. The filter
locates dark areas in an image and brings out detail without degrading other features in the image.
SmartFocus
. This setting has settings are
Off
and
On
options. Use the
SmartFocus
setting to
increase the apparent resolution of lower resolution images. Many images that are downloaded
from the Internet or from digital cameras can be compressed because of size restrictions, and might
exhibit pixilation artifacts when printed.
SmartFocus
upscales the image to the printer resolution
without accentuating these artifacts.
Sharpness
. This setting has an
Automatic
check box and a slide bar ranging from
Off
to
High
.
Many images are improved by increasing their sharpness. Use the
Sharpness
feature locates
edge detail and makes it more prominent. The filter detects regions that contain significant
variations in pixel value along a number of different vectors (which denotes edges) and then applies
a filter to enhance detail.
Smoothing
. This setting has an
Automatic
check box and a slide bar ranging from
Off
to
High
.
Just as many images benefit increased sharpness, many images are improved by smoothing,
which decreases noise artifacts that are often created by digital cameras or scanners. When you
