+.TH GIMPPRINT\-COLOR 7 "@RELEASE_DATE@" "Version @GIMPPRINT_VERSION@" "Gimp-Print Manual Pages"
+.SH NAME
+gimpprint\-color \- Gimp-Print color balancing
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Gimp-Print includes several color balancing controls. 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.
