Palette Dialogue    

Clicking on the application icon will open the following window. This window is where you enter the palette number that represents the file that you wish to edit. Clicking on the "Open Palette Directory" button will open the directory that holds your selection of palettes.



Once you have entered a palette file click edit this will lead to the following window. For the purpose of illustration I am using palette 14 ( this is used by canon printers ). Clicking on the edit button opens the main dialogue window as featured below;

control dialogue

This window is the main dialogue for the correction of the palette. It is designed to isolate all factors that control colour. Allowing you managability over the quality of your printouts. For the more advanced user there is the option to increase this control. This option can be selected by clicking on the "Advanced" button at the botton of the dialogue box.  Help on the advanced option. This advanced option allows control over aspects of printing that are not often used within normal operation.
