HP digital photography
enhancements
In parallel with HP Photoret Pro and 8-ink printing, we have also introduced a
range of digital imaging technologies which intelligently analyse and enhance
images to improve the quality of digital photos.
These include contrast enhancement, digital flash, smartfocus, sharpness and
smoothing, and are designed to deliver brighter, more vibrant colours and sharper,
clearer image detail for results that rival the quality of traditional photo finishing.
Each ‘tool‘ is automatically applied when printing in best modes and can be
selected to adjust images to suit individual needs or preferences.
Contrast enhancement
Brightens images that appear dark or hazy due to poor lighting conditions, adding
depth and clarity to the entire image. If the original image is fine, no changes are
made, so customers get great results whatever the quality of the original.
Digital flash
Enhances image detail in dark, shadow areas or areas that appear too light or
over exposed. This tool can improve images in which a particular area is
obscured by shadows or bleached out by bright sunshine.
Smartfocus
Sharpens details in low-resolution images printed from the Internet, CD-ROM
or multimedia applications, ensuring optimal quality for everything from family
photos to web content.
Sharpness
Enhances image detail to increase the quality of digital photos; detail areas
appear sharper and crisper for realistic, photo-quality output.
Smoothing
Intelligently removes ‘noise’, unwanted artefacts caused by image compression,
and the appearance of grain in images, resulting in a smoother, more uniform
appearance for realistic photo quality.
