COLOR CONVERTER, METHOD FOR STARTING COLOR CONVERSION, COLOR CONVERSION PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDED WITH COLOR THE CONVERSION PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correct an arbitrary color image signal, preferably to the color of a color image output unit having a limited color reproduction range (gamut). SOLUTION: A feature detecting section 220 detects the features of gamut information (storage part) 240 of an input device and gamut information (storage part) 250 of an output device, under a plurality of observation environmental conductions. An observation environmental conditions determining section 230 determines observation environmental conditions, adaptable to a combination of the input device and output device, respectively. With reference to the gamut information 250 of the output device under output device observation environmental conditions 270, color compression to a color signal within the color reproduction range of the output device is effected, before the color signal is delivered to a color space converting section 104.
