The ABCDEF’s of Ultra Hi-Definition Prints—Auto Photo Correction*
Auto Photo Correction with advanced face detection is an automatic system that corrects photos, making it easy
to produce beautiful prints at home. It’s the ideal solution for customers who:
• Are disappointed in results when printing photos at home
• Believe the only way to get beautiful photo quality results is at a photo finishing lab
• Don’t want to mess with complex image editing software
• Tend to end up with photos that are dark due to exposure problems from improper lighting or photos
taken without a flash
At a high-end lab that processes film or digital photos, a technician may make adjustments to enhance the
photo. Most photos today, however, don’t get any adjustment and bad photos remain bad. Epson’s Auto Photo
Correction optimizes digital photos (whether printed directly from a digital camera, memory card, or from the
computer). It doesn’t alter the original image file; it analyzes the photo and corrects it for printing (just how the
photo lab doesn’t alter the negative, only the resulting print). With Auto Photo Correction, it’s like having a lab
technician inside the printer but better!
How is it better? In the photo lab, color balance is usually adjusted in red tones to produce healthy-looking
skin color, however, this adjustment could have negative influences to the color of the entire photo. Auto Photo
Correction with advanced face detection analyzes digital photos, then applies the appropriate optimization to
suit the content of the entire image:
* Auto Photo Correction is available on Windows and Mac OS X 10.5 or later. See www.epson.com/support to download the latest Mac OS
