This article is intended for oral disclosure only.
1) Please do not save with DiMAGE Image Viewer Utility if you want to print the captured image with PIM function enabled. Open the images directly through Photo Quicker 3.0.
Inherently, DiMAGE Image Viewer Utility is not PIM compliant. Once saved with this utility software, the image is no longer PIM-compliant, thus color cast may occur when printed via a PIM-enabled printer.
This problem does not apply to the users of PIM-enabled printer provided with a PC card slot (like Stylus Photo 895) who do not print the image via PhotoQuicker 3.0.
2) PIM is a superior function that perfectly calibrates a range of settings through entire automatic process using tagged information in the captured image. This is the simplest way to obtain the best image quality.
On the contrary, photo retouching applications including DiMAGE Image Viewer Utility allow users to manipulate the captured images to match their taste.
Users can obtain either benefit depending on the situation.
à The image that was saved with DiMAGE Image Viewer Utility should not be displayed as PIM-compliant format in the file dialog of Photo Quicker.
The correction of DiMAGE Image Viewer Utility is being examined so that such image file will not be read as PIM complaint
