About PRINT Image Matching
If your digital camera and printer support PRINT Image Matching (P. I. M.),
Film Factory lets you produce the best prints possible. PRINT Image Matching is
a term for the print command that is embedded in the header of the image file
created by digital cameras. It contains color setting and image parameter
information. With PRINT Image Matching, the digital camera can set specific
printing options such as:
The camera saves this information in each image file. For example, macro mode
pictures might include commands for sharpness and clarity, while portrait mode
pictures might emphasize soft focusing and subtle flesh tones. Your printer then
uses the information to ensure the most accurate reproduction of the image.
In Film Factory, a small P. I. M. symbol appears on the thumbnails for PRINT
Image Matching photos: . If a PRINT Image Matching photo has been
retouched, it may not display the P. I. M. symbol. If you trim or rotate a PRINT
Image Matching photo, the P. I. M. settings still appear. Because P. I. M. optimizes
settings such as brightness and color automatically, using retouching options like
these removes P. I. M. settings.
