Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a table storing unit that stores a first color Look Up Table; a table extracting unit that extracts the first color Look Up Table stored in the table storing unit; a table download unit that downloads a second color Look Up Table from an external storage medium; a table backup unit that stores the first color Look Up Table extracted by the table extracting unit in the external storage medium when the table download unit downloads the second color Look Up Table; and an image process unit that performs an image process based on the second color Look Up Table.
Claims20
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a table storing unit that stores a first color Look Up Table (LUT);
- a table extracting unit that extracts the first color LUT stored in the table storing unit;
- a table download unit that downloads a second color LUT from an external storage medium;
- a table backup unit that stores the first color LUT extracted by the table extracting unit in the external storage medium when the table download unit downloads the second color LUT;
- and
- an image process unit that performs an image process based on the second color LUT.
An image forming method, comprising:
- a table extracting step of extracting a first color Look Up Table (LUT) that is stored in an image forming apparatus;
- a table download step of downloading a second color LUT from an external storage medium;
- a table backup step of storing the first color LUT to the external storage medium when the second color LUT is downloaded by the table download step;
- and
- an image process step of performing an image process based on the second color LUT.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a table storing unit that stores a first color Look Up Table (LUT);
- a table extracting unit that extracts the first color LUT stored in the table storing unit;
- a table download unit that downloads a second color LUT from an external storage medium;
- an image process unit that performs an image process based on the first color LUT stored in the table storing unit;
- a difference data generating unit that generates difference data between the first color LUT and the second color LUT;
- a table updating unit that stores the second color LUT and the generated difference data by overwriting the first color LUT stored in the table storing unit;
- and
- a table restoring unit that restores the first color LUT stored to the table storing unit based on the second color LUT and the difference data.
