Contrast, Saturation and Color Cast
The FreeFlow enablement supports Contrast, Saturation, and Color Cast.
NOTE: In order for these features to work, you must install the Fiery patch 1-12S4R5, which
can be downloaded to the EX Print Server from System Updates or WebTools.
To view how Saturation, Contrast, and Color Cast map on the EX Print Server, perform the
following steps:
1 Submit a color job to the EX Print Server Hold queue.
2 In Command WorkStation, select the job and right click on it.
3 Select Process and Hold.
4 After the job is RIPPed and is highlighted in dark gold color, right click on it.
5 Select Launch EFI Image Viewer.
6 To view Saturation, select the Color Wheel tab and then select Saturation from the pull down
menu.
7 To view Contrast and Color Cast, select the Curves tab and note how the curves have changed.
The color curves in Image Viewer reflect the adjustments that were made in FreeFlow.
ImageViewer allows color adjustment in a job in either Color Wheel or Curves mode. In the
FreeFlow IPP implementation, Fiery uses the Curves mode to adjust colors for the Saturation,
Contrast, and Color Cast.
Also, If you switch to Color Wheel mode after adjusting color curves in Curves mode, all of
your curve adjustments are lost. A warning message appears before you lose your adjustments.
This is regardless of whether the changes comes with the FreeFlow job, or it was done
manually on the job in ImageViewer.
