Comfortable, and Easy Photograph Production using the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro
1
Easy-PhotoPrint Pro is plug-in software for Professional Print. This powerful software application will satisfy the needs of both professionals and high-level amateurs by providing effective printing solutions.
PIXUS Pro9500 and Pro9000 professional photo printers support paper sizes larger than A3. These two printers, made specifically to create photographic works of art, not only enable distinct expressiveness in the final printout, with long shelf­life, but they also maximize that performance. This dedicated print software "Easy-PhotoPrint Pro" is bundled to make it easy for anyone to use these products. That is the essence of the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro. Professionals and high-level amateurs, including users of the EOS DIGITAL, alike will quickly recognize that the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro eliminates the troublesome and complicated tasks associated with printing, and that they can easily print out photographs as beautiful as one can imagine.
Startup as plug-in software
Easy-PhotoPrint Pro starts up as a plug-in software program in a version later than Digital Photo Professional Ver.2.1 and in Adobe
®
Photoshop® CS/CS2. It can directly hand-over image data. Then, after developing and retouching images, this
software application allows you to shift seamlessly and directly to the print work.
Solves problems associated with printing for users of Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2
Specifically, problems like "troublesome print size settings," "can't batch print multiple images," and "color management settings are complex" are now in the past. Easy-PhotoPrint Pro solves these problems that users of the Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2 often face when printing.
Faithfully reproduces the original colors found in EOS DIGITAL
Easy-PhotoPrint Pro correctly recognizes the color space information set by Digital Photo Professional or Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2 and reflects that in the final print, to faithfully reproduce images captured by EOS DIGITAL on the PIXUS Pro9500/Pro9000. This not only faithfully reproduces the coloring of the picture style set by Digital Photo Professional, but it also prints with the wide color space available in Adobe
®
RGB(1998).
New features perfect for creating photographs
Easy-PhotoPrint Pro is provided a whole range of new features developed based on EOS DIGITAL and Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2 user work-flows. Specifically, this software offers users print modes to satisfy any user need. Users will immediately find use for features like the "Linear Tone" mode that linearly applies adjustments made to images, or the
"Grayscale Photo" mode that prints authentic looking B/W photographs. Other features include independently setting the
color balance, brightness and contrast of the printer, and registering and calling these settings up.
Easy-PhotoPrint Pro makes it fun and easy to produce beautiful, high-quality photographs.

Picture Style
Digital Photo Professional Ver.2.1 uses Picture Style to adjust RAW images.
This allows the photographer to reset Picture Styles for RAW images of EOS-
1D Mark II N/EOS 5D/EOS 30D, and to reflect preferred Picture Styles onto
RAW images captured by an EOS DIGITAL that is not provided with the Picture
Style function. This also allows making adjustments of hue, saturation etc.
Digital Photo Professional adjusts RAW images and saves them as recipes in separate files.

"
To print data of images photographed in RAW format, I have to develop the images, and then convert them to TIFF or JPEG. So, it takes a lot of effort, and is quite a bother." Digital Photo Professional and Easy-PhotoPrint Pro will change all that. By linking these two applications together, you can print RAW images using PIXMA. This takes away the trouble of converting original data to TIFF or JPEG images and saving them to print by another application. Furthermore, RAW images can be transferred directly from Digital Photo Professional Ver.2.1 to Easy-PhotoPrint Pro with one click, without having to be saved.

Easy print settings for simple, carefree printing work
When printing from Adobe Photoshop, there were many complicated tasks like
making complex settings for print layouts and color management. Another problem
was that multiple printings could not be performed at one time. Easy-PhotoPrint
Pro solves all those issues. All print-related tasks for Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2
users are now uniformly controllable with Easy-PhotoPrint Pro, a unified
management solution.

Independently set and register color settings in the printer driver
With Easy-PhotoPrint Pro, colors can be freely adjusted in the PIXMA Pro9500/Pro9000. Adjustments include Color Balance, Brightness and Contrast. This new system reflects the user's intended coloring, by allowing color settings for specific types of art paper, or creating colors finely-tuned for each object of shooting.
Color Balance Adjustment
Prints samples where yellow, red, magenta, blue, cyan and green are varied based on the original image (shown in the red frame). This allows users to select their most preferred coloring by checking the actual printout, including slight color differences.
Users that want to make even more detailed changes to the color balance can use the function that prints samples where yellow, red, magenta, blue, cyan and green can be individually varied. When wanting to increase red, choose to print in Direction R and up to 48 simulated images are output. Original image is at the bottom left.
Print All Directions
Single Hue
(Example: print in Direction R)
The cyan, magenta and yellow parameter values are printed out right below each image. That way, users can simply type in those values to return the color balance to their preferred one.

Color Balance Adjustment
1. Slide bars
For users who have specific target/intented colors in mind, slide bars are provided to make fine adjustments to cyan, magenta and yellow values.
2. Pattern Print
For users that are not quite sure which color value to increase or decrease, or would like to preview the changes first on the actual printout, "Pattern Print" function is offered. This automatically creates simulated images with varying color balance as specified by the user, and prints out the results on a sheet of paper. Users can then determine color balance after previewing that printout. Users can also keep the printed sheet for another print opportunity, so that they can reproduce the same settings as a basis for a new color adjustment.
