Profile processing apparatus, profile processing method, and storage medium

A profile processing apparatus comprising:

• a calculation unit configured to create a profile based on a colorimetric value acquired by measuring a color of a patch printed by an image forming apparatus based on patch data;
• a profile information storage unit configured to store the profile created by the calculation unit in association with information about a condition of the colorimetric measurement;
• a comparison unit configured to compare, when the profile is adjusted, the colorimetric condition corresponding to the stored profile in the profile information storage unit with a colorimetric condition when the color of the patch is measured to adjust the profile;
• and
• a notification unit configured to notify a user if the comparison unit determines that the colorimetric conditions do not coincide with each other.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program, the program comprising code portions for:

• acquiring a colorimetric value corresponding to measurement of a color of a patch printed by an image forming apparatus based on patch data;
• performing calculation for creating a profile based on the colorimetric value;
• storing the profile created by the calculation in association with information about a condition of the colorimetric measurement;
• comparing, when the profile is adjusted, the colorimetric condition corresponding to the stored profile with a colorimetric condition used when the color of the patch is measured to adjust the profile;
• and
• notifying a user if the comparison determines that the colorimetric conditions do not coincide with each other.
