Using The P.i.m. Ii Plug-In For Adobe Photoshop - Epson Stylus Photo 1280 Printer Basics Manual

Store your prints in resealable plastic bags, photo albums, or glass-covered picture
frames. Keep your pictures and unused paper away from high temperatures, humidity,
and direct sunlight. Make sure you return unused paper to its original package.

Using the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop

Like Film Factory, the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop allows you to retain the
special image settings saved in digital photo files from your P.I.M., P.I.M. II, or Exif
Print-enabled digital camera. It works with Photoshop 6.0 or 7.0, and Photoshop
Elements 1.0 and 2.0. You'll also need to install the ICC profiles for your printer if
you're running Windows (see the Start Here sheet for instructions). If you have a
Macintosh, the ICC profiles were installed with your printer driver.
You can crop, rotate, resize, work with layers, play with filters, and even make
selective color adjustments to the image while retaining your PRINT Image Matching
or Exif Print settings. However, you can't use global color adjustments (such as Auto
Levels, Auto Contrast, Auto Color, etc.) and retain the settings. Also, if you save the
image and then try to use your new Photoshop file in another software program that
supports PRINT Image Matching or Exif Print, it won't be recognized as a P.I.M. or
Exif Print image. Copy the original file and make your changes to the copy so the
original retains its information for use in other programs.
Note: Photoshop doesn't retain the PRINT Image Matching or Exif Print
information separately in the header file when you import your image. Instead, it
converts that information in the file and embeds a color space called EPSON RGB
2001. This profile supports all the PRINT Image Matching and Exif Print color
advantages and enhancements.
Importing an Image
1. If you're using Photoshop Elements, change your color settings before importing
a PRINT Image Matching or Exif Print image.
