Soft Proof
Soft Proof allows you to preview print jobs on a monitor.
Use soft proofs to preview the layout and position of elements on the page as they will appear when the job is
printed. Access soft proofing through the Preview window in Command WorkStation. Open a processed, held job in
the Preview window in Command WorkStation, and a raster preview will be displayed. For information, see
Command WorkStation Help or Help in the Preview window.
Image Enhance
Use the Image Enhance print option to apply photo enhancement to photographic color images on specified pages
or sheets of a job.
Important: This feature is not used on graphics such as logos or charts.
To turn on this feature, select the Apply Image Enhancement option for a job and specify the pages or sheets to be
affected. This option is located in the Image tab of the printer driver and Job Properties. You can customize Image
Enhance settings from Command WorkStation.
For more information about the Image Enhance print option and how to configure it, see Printing.
Image Enhance Visual Editor
Image Enhance Visual Editor (IEVE) is an image editing application that provides users with a visual workspace to
adjust individual images in a job.
You can adjust tone, color, and sharpness, and perform red-eye correction. You can apply the same adjustments to
all images on a page or a range of pages. You can see the effects of your adjustments and fine-tune the appearance of
an image. When you save a set of adjustments as a preset, you can easily apply the same adjustments in the future.
Important: Adjustments made in IEVE affect the job on the imagePRESS Server and cannot be applied to the
original source document.
For information about using IEVE, see Color Printing.
ImageViewer
ImageViewer allows you to soft proof and adjust colors in a job before it is printed.
Use the preview in ImageViewer to verify job placement, orientation, and content, as well as color accuracy. If the
job contains halftone screened settings, the preview shows a composite view of all separations at the dot level. You
can select to display the plate data for each process color independently or in combination with the other colors,
allowing inspection of individual plate data or a combination of any range of plates.
