System for producing image on first medium, such as video, simulating the appearance of image on second medium, such as motion picture or other photographic film
First Claim
1. A method for processing information in an image originated on a first medium into data representative of a modified image simulating an image originated on a selected second medium, comprising:
- producing digital data representative of the color component response of a selected second medium under a selected group of variables affecting the response of the selected second medium to subject colors;
storing said digital data in a memory for use in modifying digital data representative of color component values within said image originated on the first medium to simulate each corresponding component response within an image originated on said selected second medium;
correlating data derived from said image originated on said first medium with said digital data representative of the color component response of the selected second medium; and
selectively modifying respective information in the image originating on the first medium based on corresponding data of the digital data representative of the color component response of the selected second medium, thereby to simulate in said image originating on the first medium characteristics of said selected second medium.

11. Apparatus for processing information in an image on a first image storing medium into data representative of a modified image simulating an image originated on a second image storing medium, comprising:
-
means for producing digital data representative of the color component response of a selected second medium under a selected group of variables affecting the response of the second image storing medium to subject colors; means for storing said digital data in a memory for use in modifying each digital component in the image originated from the first medium to simulate each corresponding component of an image originated from the second image storing medium; means for correlating data derived from the image from the first medium with said digital data representative of the color component response of the second image storing medium; means for selectively modifying respective information in the image originating on the first medium based on corresponding data of the digital data representative of the color component response of the selected second medium, thereby to simulate in said image originating on the first medium characteristics of said second image storing medium. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
