 Page one of the print driver has options for selecting the
media type, setting the orientation, printing 2-inch ID photos, number of
copies, enabling the Preview function and optionally adding a visible watermark
(Magic coating) over the picture.
 Page two lets you calibrate the printer, set a specific skin
tone (Yellow, White or Black), enable Windows color management or disable color
preferences altogether.
 Page three displays the printer's firmware version, serial
number and release date. It also has a hyperlink for visiting HiTi's web site
for newer firmware or printer drivers.
 This is the Preview screen, if you check the "Run Preview" box on the first page of the driver then this screen comes up before each picture is printed. From here you see "visually" exactly how your picture is going to look when printed. You can alter the brightness, contrast or sharpness as well as change the scaling and then re-center the picture. Most digital cameras create images that use a 4:3 aspect
ratio so when printing them at 4x6" you will always be cropping some of the
picture to fill the entire print area. Now you know why some cameras have a
special (3:2) resolution setting, this yields perfect 4x6" prints with no
cropping.
 Clicking on the "Mirabella" button from the Prevew screen
will bring up this quick selection window. You are shown 9 variations of your
picture, each has a slightly different color or contrast - just pick the one
that looks best and that's how your print will come out. Doesn't get any easier
than that. Application Programs PhotoDesiree delivers professional quality results with an easy to use User Interface. It allows you to create personalized calendars, poster and greeting cards.
