Basic print options

•	Fix Photo: improves the color, contrast, and sharpness of flawed photos.

Note:
Fix Photo uses a sophisticated face recognition technology to optimize photos that include faces. For this to work, both eyes and the nose must be visible in the subject’s face (without sunglasses). If your photo includes a face with an intentional color cast, such as a statue, you may want to turn off Fix Photo to retain the special color effects.

•	Fix Red-Eye: reduces or removes red-eye in photos.

•	Reverse Order: reverses the order in which your document prints to last-page-first.

•	Print Preview: lets you preview how your document or photo will look when printed.
