Color reproducing apparatus
First Claim
1. A color reproducing apparatus for color converting an original image, which has been produced on an image output device while the image output device is being monitored under a color reproduction environment of a production phase, into a view image to be viewed on the same image output device having produced the original image, or on another image output device, under a color reproduction environment of a view phase, the color reproducing apparatus comprising:
- profile storage means for storing information relating to the color reproduction environment of the production phase, information relating to the color reproduction environment of the view phase, and information relating to the image output devices of the production phase and the view phase, and color correction means for color converting the original image into the view image using the information stored in the profile storage means.

Abstract
A color reproducing apparatus of the present invention color converts an original image, which has been produced on an image output device while the image output device is monitored under a color reproduction environment of a production phase, into a view image to be viewed on the same image output device having produced the original image, or on another image output device, under a color reproduction environment of a view phase. The color reproducing apparatus includes a profile storage for storing information relating to the color reproduction environment of the production phase, information relating to the color reproduction environment of the view phase, and information relating to the image output devices of the production phase and the view phase, and a color corrector for color converting the original image into the view image using the information stored in the profile storage.

53. A color reproducing apparatus for color converting an image, produced on an image output device under an environment, using color correction means, and for outputting an image to be viewed on the same image output device or on another image output device,
wherein the color correction means color converts the image of a production phase into an image of a view phase using information relating to a color reproduction environment of the production phase, information relating to a color reproduction environment of the view phase, information relating to the image output device of the production phase, and information relating to the image output device of the view phase.

69. A color reproducing method of color converting an original image into a view image, to be viewed on the same image output device which has produced the original image or on another image output device, under a color reproduction environment of a view phase, the color reproducing method comprising:
-
a step of producing the original image while monitoring the image output device under a color reproduction environment of a production phase;
a step of storing the original image and information relating to the color reproduction environment of the production phase;
a step of storing information relating to the color reproducing environment of the view phase and information relating to the image output device of the view phase; and
a step of color converting the original image into the view image using the information relating to the stored original image and the color reproduction environment of the production phase, the stored information relating to the color reproduction environment of the view phase, and the stored information relating to the image output device of the view phase.
