IMAGE PROCESSING USING A PROFILE SELECTION BASED ON PHOTOGRAPHING CONDITION

摘要

For an image photographed by a digital still camera or the like, color matching cannot be performed because photographing conditions of the image cannot be specified. The effect of a CMS cannot be expected even when one profile is prepared for such an input device as a digital still camera. In this invention, a photographed image and the photographing conditions of the image are input. An input profile closest to the photographing conditions is selected from a plurality of input profiles stored in an external storage. On the basis of the selected input profile, color matching processing is performed on the input image.
