APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVE COLOR EDITING OF COLOR PROFILES
First Claim
1. A method for editing an color profile for an output device having a color gamut, the color profile comprising a plurality of output color values, the method comprising:
- receiving an output color comprising a first hue, a first lightness and a first chroma;
determining a first range of lightness values and a first range of chroma values for all output color values in the color profile;
determining a second range of lightness values of output color values in the color profile that have the first hue and the first chroma;
determining a second range of chroma values of output color values in the color profile that have the first hue and the first lightness;
distinctly displaying on a display device graphical representations of the first and second ranges of lightness values;
distinctly displaying on the display device graphical representations of the first and second ranges of chroma values;
providing a user interface that allows a user to create an edited output color comprising a second hue, a second lightness and a second chroma; and
dynamically modifying the second range of lightness values and the second range of chroma values based on the edited output color.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for editing color profiles. In particular, an output color including a first hue, a first lightness and a first chroma is received, and a first range of lightness values and a first range of chroma values for all output color values in the color profile are determined. A second range of lightness values of output color values in the color profile that have the first hue and the first chroma, and a second range of chroma values of output color values in the color profile that have the first hue and the first lightness are determined. Graphical representations of the first and second ranges of lightness values, and the first and second ranges of chroma values are distinctly displayed on a display device. A user interface is provided that allows a user to create an edited output color including a second hue, a second lightness and a second chroma, and dynamically modify the second range of lightness values and the second range of chroma values based on the edited output color.

10. A method for editing a color profile for an output device having a color gamut, the color profile comprising a plurality of output color values, the method comprising:
-
receiving an output color comprising a first hue, a first lightness and a first chroma; determining a first range of lightness values and a first range of chroma values for all output color values in the color profile; determining a second range of lightness values of output color values in the color profile that have the first hue and the first chroma; determining a second range of chroma values of output color values in the color profile that have the first hue and the first lightness; displaying on a display device a first slider bar that comprises a first segment corresponding to the first range of lightness values and a second segment corresponding to the second range of lightness values; distinctly displaying on the display device a second slider bar that comprises a first segment corresponding to the first range of chroma values and a second segment corresponding to the second range of chroma values; providing a user interface that allows a user to create an edited output color comprising a second hue, a second lightness and a second chroma; dynamically modifying the second segment of lightness values and the second segment of chroma values based on the edited output color. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for editing a color profile for an output device having a color gamut, the color profile comprising a plurality of output color values, the method comprising:
-
receiving an output color comprising a first hue; displaying on a display device a two-dimensional cross-section of the color gamut along a constant hue plane at the first hue; providing a user interface that permits a user to edit the lightness and saturation of the output color to create an edited output color; and displaying on the display device indicia of the output color and the edited output color on the color profile cross section. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
