Color management system

摘要

A color management system is provided that includes a color transformation unit that uses a profile connection space to perform a color transformation process on input image data based on an input side color transformation parameter associated with the input image data for translating an input device-dependent color value that describes the input image data into a device-independent color value of the profile connection space and an output side color transformation parameter for matching the device-independent color value to an output device-dependent color value. The color management system further includes an output device selection unit that enables a user to select at least two output devices from plural output devices that are available for selection, and a profile connection space generation unit that automatically generates the profile connection space according to a predetermined profile connection space generation method based on the gamuts of the output devices selected by the user.

1. A color management system comprising:
circuitry configured to: enable a user to select at least two output devices from plural output devices that are available for selection; enable the user to select a profile connection space generation strategy from among a plurality of profile connection space generation strategies; and generate a profile connection space based on the selected profile connection space generation strategy and based on at least a first gamut and a second gamut of the at least two output devices selected by the user, the profile connection space corresponding to a common profile connection space for the at least two output devices, and the profile connection space being used to perform a color transformation process on input image data based on an input side color transformation parameter associated with the input image data for translating an input device-dependent color value, of an input device color space, that describes the input image data into a device-independent color value of the profile connection space, and an output side color transformation parameter for matching the device-independent color value to an output device-dependent color value of an output device color space, wherein a different output side color transformation parameter is used for matching the device-independent color value to the output device-dependent color value based on a type of paper used by one of the at least two output devices.
