| Preset | Select Color Settings. | ||||
| True Rich Color * | Different colors are expressed by Brightness and Vibrancy. | ||||
| True Rich Color 3 | Despite its high-saturation output, it has a wide color gamut, more naturally producing colors such as gray and peach. True Rich Color 2 is enabled only for CMYK images. True Rich Color 3 is enabled for both CMYK and RGB images. True Rich Color 3 with the broader color gamut is recommended. Select the same color setting when you set True Rich Color or True Rich Color 2 before updating VersaWorks and want to output the same color. | ||||
