With PRINT Image Matching, the digital camera manufacturer can set specific printing options for each camera model. These options include: ■ contrast, sharpness, and brightness ■ gamma level, color space, and color saturation ■ shadow point, highlight point, and color balance The camera saves this information in each JPEG or TIFF image file.
