Abstract

The invention relates to a color image processing apparatus and, more particularly, to adjusting means of a color tone and a sharpness. According to the invention, there is provided a color image processing apparatus characterized by having processing means for performing processes to given color image data; memory means which can store a plurality of processing parameters of the processing means together with peculiar names, and means for searching the registered processing parameters from the memory means.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A color image processing apparatus comprising:

a first input unit adapted to input an identifier by a user;

a second input unit adapted to input information indicating plural kinds of parameters instructed by a user;

a registering unit adapted to register the identifier input by said first input unit with each of the plural kinds of parameters input by said second input unit;

a display unit adapted to display the identifier registered in said registering unit so that a user can select the identifier; and

a color image processing unit adapted to perform a color image process based on the plural kinds of parameters based on the identifier selected by the user.

12. A color image processing apparatus according to claim 11, wherein said color image processing unit performs independently plural kinds of color image processes corresponding to the plural kinds of parameters.

13. A color image processing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein each of the plural kinds of color image processes respectively corresponds to one of the plural kinds of parameters.

14. A color image processing method comprising:

a first input step adapted to input an identifier selected by a user;

a second input step adapted to input information indicating plural kinds of parameters instructed by a user;

a registering step adapted to register the identifier input in a first input step with each of the plural kinds of parameters input in said second input step;

a display step adapted to display the identifier registered in said registering step on a display so that a user can select the identifier; and

a color image processing step adapted to perform a color image process based on the plural kinds of parameters based on the word selected by the user.

15. A color image processing method according to claim 14, wherein in said color image processing step plural kinds of color image processes corresponding to the plural kinds of parameters are performed independently.

16. A color image processing method according to claim 15, wherein each of the plural kinds of color image processes corresponds to a respective one of the plural kinds of parameters.
