Color Balance
Before you use color adjustment, read and understand the Color Printing topic.
1. Evaluate the image for color balance. Does
the card have a yellow cast or do photos
have a greenish tint?
If most of the card prints with the correct
colors, consider using a graphics
application to change the logo or other part
of the card that needs color improvement.
2. Determine which color needs adjustment:
• Increase red, or decrease red to add
cyan (light blue)
• Increase green, or decrease green to
add magenta (red-purple).
• Increase blue, or decrease blue to add
yellow
• If changing the obvious color does not
produce the desired effect, try
changing the other two.
3. Click the Up arrow to increase a color, or the Down arrow to decrease contrast.
4. The Adjusted image shows the effect of the new setting.
