PREPRESS MODE
When printing photos, the result on paper will sometimes be different than what appears on your
monitor. While the contours of objects may look perfect on the screen, on paper they may appear
fuzzy. To avoid this, process the image before it is printed.
Use Prepress mode to increase the sharpness of borders and the contrast of the image.
Even if you are not going to print the photos you can use this mode to improve them. For example,
before publishing in your online album.
To process an image in this mode:
Original Image Result
¡ Step 1. Once this mode is selected the Preview Window will appear in the Before tab.
The Preview Window is a box outlined in a "running" dotted line which shows how an image
would be processed after settings are adjusted. This box can be easily dragged and dropped to
another part of the image (click and hold the left mouse button) or redrawn (double click) over
any part of the image. In this way you can analyze other parts of the image.
You can compare the processed result with the original image by holding down the left mouse
button in the Preview Window.
¡ Step 2. To correct the image, adjust these parameters:

The parameters under Sharpness can be used to make an image appear sharper and its details
clearer.
¡ Radius. This parameter, which accepts values between 0 and 100, determines the width
of the zone in which the boundaries of objects are sharpened. A high value may cause
halo artifacts. The default value is 10.
