Introducing Film Factory

EPSON Software™Film Factory™lets you process your digital “film”and print

snapshots using your own computer and printer. With this powerful photo

management utility, you can import images from any digital-imaging source and

create virtual rolls of film and film cases to organize thousands of photos in a

visual format.

Film Factory is the perfect photo management program for the home or office. If

you’re a home computer user, you’ll have fun organizing, enhancing, printing, and

sharing your favorite photos with family and friends. If you’re a small business

user, Film Factory provides an efficient and convenient way to catalog your

business-related digital photos.

Film Factory lets you:

■Quickly and easily import and organize images from a digital camera, scanner,

PC card, CD-ROM, or disk.

■Retouch your pictures to make them look their best. Automatically adjust

color balance, brightness, and contrast. Rotate or trim the image, or correct red

eyes. Convert photos to black and white or sepia for a classic look. Most

enhancements can be made without modifying the original image file.

■Organize and retrieve all your photos with virtual “rolls of film”and “film

cases.”You can catalog your photos by subject, or family members can have

their own film cases with their own rolls.

■Print vivid color images in a variety of formats, including standard 3.5 ×5 or

4×6 prints, an index (contact) sheet, photo album pages, and greeting cards.

■Add comments or sound (Windows®only) to each photo to be stored with it.

■Create photo collages.

■E-mail your photos to family, friends, and business associates using your own

e-mail program, or create web pages of your photos in one easy step (Windows

only).

■Use your photos as desktop wallpaper or a screen saver (Windows only).

About PRINT Image Matching

If your digital camera and printer support PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M.), Film

Factory lets you produce the best prints possible (not available on Macintosh®

OS X). PRINT Image Matching is a term for the print command that is

embedded in the header of the image file created by certain digital cameras. It

contains color setting and image parameter information. With PRINT Image

Matching, the digital camera can set specific printing options such as:

The camera saves this information in each image file. For example, macro mode

pictures might include commands for sharpness and clarity, while portrait mode

pictures might emphasize soft focusing and subtle flesh tones. Your printer then

uses the information to ensure the most accurate reproduction of the image.

In Film Factory, the P.I.M. symbol appears on the thumbnails for PRINT

Image Matching photos. You can also right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click

(Macintosh) a photo thumbnail to see if it is a P.I.M. photo. Check the Photo

Enhancement status in the displayed information; if it is PRINT Image Matching

or PRINT Image Matching with the ability to interpret Exif Print, the photo

contains P.I.M. data.

If a PRINT Image Matching photo has been retouched, it may not display the

P.I.M. symbol or P.I.M. status. If you trim or rotate a PRINT Image Matching

photo, or correct for red eyes, the P.I.M. settings are retained. But because P.I.M.

optimizes settings such as brightness and color automatically, using retouching

options like these removes P.I.M. settings. You also lose P.I.M. settings if you

export the files.

About Exif Print

The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your

digital camera settings in JPEG files so your printer and application can use them

to create accurate print settings. Most digital cameras store Exif Print information

such as shutter speed, metering, flash and exposure settings, resolution, and lens

use in the JPEG image file.

■contrast ■sharpness ■brightness

■gamma level ■color space ■color saturation

■shadow ■highlight ■color balance

In Film Factory, Exif Print or PRINT Image Matching with ability to interpret

Exif Print is listed in an information display box as the Photo Enhancement status

when you right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Macintosh) an Exif Print photo.

Like P.I.M. photos, you can trim, rotate, or correct for red eyes and still retain Exif

Print settings, but if you adjust brightness or color options, or export the files, the

Exif Print settings are removed.
