Estimating the term…
The method of the invention adaptively assigns an image data color management action to a component of a computing system. The computing system includes control programs such as an application program and a peripheral driver program. The computing system further includes a peripheral device that may have both software color management capability and hardware color management capability. The method of the invention initially examines received image data to determine at least one characteristic thereof. The method then compares the characteristic with one or more decision parameters that enable an assessment of the complexity of the color management actions required for the image data. Thereafter, based upon the result of the comparing action, the image data is subjected to a color management action by a selected one of the control programs or by the peripheral device, dependent upon the determined complexity of the image data.
A method for adaptively assigning an image data color management action to a component of a computing system, said computing system including a periphral device and control programs, said control programs comprising an application program, an operating system and a peripheral driver program, said method comprising the steps of:
A memory media including instructions for controlling a computing system to adaptively assign an image data color management action to a component of said computing system, said computing system including a peripheral and control programs, said control programs comprising an application program, an operating system and a peripheral driver program, said memory media comprising:
