PRINT PREVIEW AND SETTING BACKGROUND COLOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH A GAMMA VALUE, COLOR TEMPERATURE AND ILLUMINATION TYPES

摘要

When an image is displayed on a display device on the basis of image data, a blank region is formed around the image. A background color is displayed on the blank region. The background color to be displayed on the blank region is set so that its color temperature nearly matches that of a white paper sheet placed under desired illumination light. In this manner, the color tone of a preview image can be adjusted to match that of the original image with high precision.
