1. A method executed by a computer for computing an inverse transfer function from a forward transfer function of an image rendering device, comprising:
- extrapolating device-dependent values for border nodes of the inverse transfer function, andcomputing, from the device-dependent values, values for at least some in-gamut nodes, wherein the in-gamut nodes are within a color gamut of the image rendering device, the border nodes are outside the color gamut and adjacent to the in-gamut nodes along a curve representing the color gamut, and the device-dependent values extrapolated for the border nodes are out-of-gamut.

Abstract
An inverse transfer function is computed from a forward transfer function of an image rendering device. During the computation, device-dependent values are extrapolated for border nodes. The extrapolated values are out-of-gamut.
