Abstract
A method and system for controlling color output includes receiving a document containing a color image, producing a first output copy of the document using a first color processing path, receiving at least one natural language request to adjust the color output of the device, adjusting the color output of the device, and producing a second output copy of the document. The method and system further includes presenting natural language descriptions of the effects of color processing paths with or without sample palettes to the user either to solicit a suggestion from the user or present the user with choices based upon the natural language request received.

18. A system, comprising:
-
a user interface; a document input for receiving data representing an input document; a document output for generating a document based upon the data received; and a processor executing a color control program that produces a first output copy using a first color processing path between the document input and the document output; receives at least one user entered natural language request to modify a color in the output document based upon the second output copy; and produces a second output copy of the document using a second color processing path in response to the user entered natural language request. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A system, comprising:
-
a user interface; a document input for receiving data representing an input document; a document output for generating a document based upon the data received; and a processor executing a color control program that produces an output copy using a first color processing path between the document input and the document output; presents natural language descriptions of the differences between one or more other color processing paths from which a user may choose and the first color processing path; receives a selection of one of the one or more color processing paths; and produces a second output copy of the document using the second color processing path. - View Dependent Claims (23)
