Colorimetric rendering

A computer program product for colorimetric rendering, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
• computer readable program code to receive, by a display device, an image that has been preprocessed for adjusting color, the image including an embedded colorimetric reference;
• computer readable program code to receive an image that has been preprocessed for adjusting color, the image including an embedded colorimetric reference;
• computer readable program code to disregard the preprocessing for adjusting color;
• computer readable program code to perform a colorimetric rendering transform at the time of display or print of the image by using the embedded colorimetric reference.

A display device for colorimetric rendering of digital images comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• an I/O interface for receiving a digital image from an external entity, the digital image being stored in the memory;
• a color reference identification module executed by the processor, the color reference identification module for identifying a colorimetric reference in the digital image;
• and
• a color correction module executed by the processor for disregarding previous color processing operations and for color correcting colors in the digital image to produce a color corrected image.
