Color chart for image correction and method of color correction
First Claim
1. A color chart for image correction comprised of a sheet base substrate such as paper and plastic film, in which an adhesive layer is provided in the posterior side for adhering onto an object the surface of the sheet base substrate is matted, and at least three mat color materials are applied each in a different partition on the surface of the sheet base substrate, wherein the partitions to which said color materials are applied is divided into square grids of the same number as the number of the color materials a scale is provided located around the square grid partitions on the surface of said base substrate in a form of a series of squares of a standard size.
