These may be +used to adjust the original image's brightness and contrast and gamma, +and the density and saturation of the output, as well as the +individual cyan, magenta and yellow levels. +.SH COLOR BALANCING +.TP +.B Cyan +.TP +.B Magenta +.TP +.B Yellow +The range of values is 0.0 \- 4.0, and defaults to 1.0. These three +options allow specification of the cyan, magenta, and yellow levels +independently, for rebalancing the levels. Normally, these should be +adjusted to yield neutral gray, but they can be used for other +effects. +.TP +.B Brightness +The range of values is 0.0 \- 2.0, and defaults to 1.0. This adjusts +the brightness of the image. 0.0 gives a fully black image; 2.0 gives +a fully white image. Values greater than 1 will result in black not +being solid and highlights turning white; values less than 1 will +result in white not being perfectly clear and shadows turning black. +.TP +.B Contrast +The range of values is 0.0 \- 4.0, and defaults to 1.0. Adjust the +contrast of the image. 0.0 gives a solid gray for the entire image, +the exact gray depending upon the brightness chosen. +.TP +.B Gamma +The range of values is 0.1 \- 4.0, and defaults to 1.0. Adjust the +gamma of the image, over and above the printer-specific correction. +Gamma less than 1.0 will result in a darker image; gamma greater than +1.0 will result in a lighter image. Unlike brightness, gamma +adjustment does not change the endpoints; it merely changes the shape +of the input\(->output curve. +.TP +.B Density +The range of values is 0.1 \- 2.0, and defaults to 1.0. Adjust the +amount of ink deposited on the paper. If you've chosen the correct +paper type and you're getting ink bleeding through the paper or +puddling, try reducing the density to the lowest value you can while +still achieving solid black. If you're not getting solid black, even +with the contrast and brightness at 1.0, try increasing the density. +.IP +All of the printers supported here actually need less than 100% ink density in +most cases, so the actual density is something other than the nominal density +setting. The effective density setting cannot go above 100%, so if a value +specified will result in an excessively high density level, it will be silently +limited to 1.0. +.TP +.B Saturation +The range of values is 0.0 \- 9.0, and defaults to 1.0. Adjust the +brilliance of colors. 0.0 results in pure grayscale; using this with +Color=1 is one way of getting grayscale (see below under "Color" for a +full discussion). Saturation of less than 1.0 results in more muted +colors; saturation of greater than 1.0 results in more vibrant colors. +Very high saturation often results in very strange effects, including +posterization and banding that might not be expected. For normal +purposes, the saturation should generally be less than 1.5. +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2001 Michael Sweet (mike@easysw.com) and Robert Krawitz +(rlk@alum.mit.edu) +.PP +This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under +the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software +Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later +version. +.PP +This manual page was written by Roger Leigh (roger@whinlatter.uklinux.net) +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR gimpprint\-dithers (7), +.BR gimpprint\-imagetypes (7), +.BR gimpprint\-inktypes (7), +.BR gimpprint\-mediasizes (7), +.BR gimpprint\-mediasources (7), +.BR gimpprint\-mediatypes (7), +.BR gimpprint\-models (7), +.BR gimpprint\-resolutions (7). +.\"# +.\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS +.\"# Local Variables: +.\"# mode:nroff +.\"# fill-column:79 +.\"# End: |
