Color processing method and the color processor, the coming out emphasis which corresponds to

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color processing method and a color processor capable of realizing color conversion with smooth changes of each color element even in the vicinity of a boundary on which total amount regulation is imposed. PSOLUTION: A color conversion table generating part 11 calculates an output point in an output color space corresponding to an input point in an input color space by using the conventional technique and generates a color conversion table. At that time, for example, when there are restrictions such as the total amount regulation, the output point satisfying its total amount regulation value is calculated. The processing of the total amount regulation is executed when exceeding the total amount regulation value even if only slightly in the conventional technique. Major changes occur in each element. A smoothing processing part 12 executes the smoothing processing to the output point in the generated color conversion table. By this, natural color reproduction can be realized by preventing the occurrence of the major changes. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
