PURPOSE:To output data after operating an optimal color matching processing matched with output color reproducing characteristic in an outputting means by adding image attribute information to each image included in color picture information. CONSTITUTION:In an application 1103 which holds graphic data, a CMM attribute is added to each image as the attribute of a plotting object. The CMM attribute is data for uniquely identifying a color matching algorithm. An OS 1102 checks the CMM attribute added to object data, and selects the optimal matching algorithm. The matching processing by the selected algorithm is operated by a printer driver 1106 or 1109. The printer drivers 1106 and 1109 compensate the color reproducing characteristics of a color laser beam printer 1108 and a color ink jet printer 1110, and operate the matching processing so that the color reproduction of the printers can be matched. |
