Gradation correction curve producing method, gradation correction curve producing apparatus, and gradation correction curve producing program storage medium

摘要

There are disclosed gradation correction curve producing method and apparatus for producing a gradation correction curve for correcting a gradation of an image. Density of monochromatic density patches for C, M, Y is measured to determine a first gradation correction curve, and colorimetry of gray density patches consisting of a combined color of C, M, Y is performed to determine a second gradation correction curve for each monochrome of C, M, Y determined from colorimetry values. A gradation correction curve for each monochrome of C, M, Y for gradation correction is determined using the first gradation correction curve and the second gradation correction curve.
