With one click, Kodak’s exclusive Image Manager lets you choose

Photos (PC) matches the higher contrast found on a standard PC
monitor. This feature is best for:

• images created on a PC

• images from a KODAK digital camera

• a starting point for video input.

Photos (MAC) matches the lower contrast found on a standard
MACINTOSH monitor. It is generally used for images created on or
for a MACINTOSH. This setting al so works well with a PC if you ar e
using higher than normal contrast PC images.
Rich Colors results in an image with deep contrast and saturated
vibrant colors. It is generally used under bright lighting conditions.
This setting works well to enhance colors of certain graphics and it
may be useful when images c reated for a MACINTOS H are displaye d
from a PC.
Spreadsheets results in an image with contrast between a PC and
MACINTOSH monitor. It is generally used for text-rich tables, such
as financial d isplays. This setting factors in ambient li ght, subject
matter, and personal preferences to deliver the right balance of
contrast and brightness.
Graphics delivers the high contrast needed to project graphics and
text against solid colored backgrounds.
