Canvas
This is one of the most important new features. When wrapping canvas it is
important to have the right amount of wrap to go around the frame. Depending on
the image there is a risk of cutting off an important part of the image.
With ESP you have several options
 Print with full wrap
 Print with edges mirrored
 Print with white or coloured border
Full wrap
Mirror wrap
Note how the edge of the image is
mirrored
Colour Border
A colour was selected from the image
and dropped into the image folder to be
used for the wrap.
You can also pre-create frames with
different border colours.

Panoramas
Another amazing new feature.
Imagine you want to create one image spread across 12 canvases arranged in 3 rows
by 4 columns. Set up one canvas including the wrap, choose Panorama 3 x 4 and
just drag the image into place. The 12 prints are automatically set up with wraps
and white areas for stapling.
Or perhaps you want to turn a single panorama image into a triptych (3 prints)
either on paper or canvas. Again open your preset template and drag the image
into place. Instant triptych!

Image Edit
In Image Edit mode you can see the original image and the modified image. More
importantly these images use ICC profiles to ensure you view the ‘correct’ colours.
In set up you have a choice of using the Monitor ICC profile or of using the ICC
profile for the print media you have selected. This allows you to ‘soft-proof’ and
see exactly how the image will print.

Photo Pack Editor allows you to easily create templates, multi image packs etc.

that is easy to learn and use.
