Image processing apparatus and method that automatically selects a substitute output device
First Claim
1. An image processing method that automatically selects a substitute output device to substitute for an indicated output device, said method comprising the steps of:
- inputting color gamut information of the indicated output device and color gamut information of output devices that are candidates for the indicated output device; and
selecting a substitute output device based on the color gamut information of the indicated output device and the color gamut information of the output devices that are the candidates for the indicated output device.

Abstract
In an image processing apparatus, it is possible to automatically select a substitute output device which is substituted for an indicated output device and can reproduce a color image equivalent to that output by the indicated output device. The apparatus comprises a judgment function for judging whether or not output is to be performed by the indicated output device, and a selection function for selecting, if it is judged by the judgment function that the output is not to be performed by the indicated output device, the substitute output device on the basis of color reproduction information of output devices being candidates for the indicated output device.
