Abstract
An image processing system provided with a receiving circuit to receive image selecting information and output environment information; a memory to memorize plural image data and plural image processing conditions being applied to the image data; a selector to select a specific image processing condition from the plural image processing conditions memorized in the memory on the basis of the received output environment information; an image processing circuit to select image data from the plural image data on the basis of the image selecting information and to process the selected image data on the basis of the selected image processing condition; and a transmitting circuit to transmit the processed image data.
Claims9
A color image processing system, comprising:
- a first color image output device to visualize color image data and having a first communicating device to transmit the color image data together with first color visualizing environment information representing at least the type of the first color output device through a network;
- a second color output device different in type from the first color output device, to visualize color image data and having a second communicating device to transmit the color image data together with the second color visualizing environment information representing at least the type of the second color output device through the network;
- and
- a color processing center having
- a central communicating device for receiving color image data and color visualizing environmental information from said first and second communicating device through the network,
- memorizing means for memorizing a plurality of color matching modes including a first color matching mode correlated with the first color visualizing environment information and a second color matching mode correlated with the second color visualizing environment information,
- an image processing means for processing color image data wherein the color processing center conducts color matching in such a way that when the central communicating device receives the first color visualizing environment information, the processing section processes the color image data in accordance with the first color matching mode and when the central communicating device receives the second color visualizing environment information, the processing section processes the color image data in accordance with the second color matching mode and
- transmitting means for transmitting the color image data processed by the image processing means to the respective color image output device so that the color image output device visualizes the processed color image data with a desired color.
An image processing method, comprising steps of:
- receiving color image data and color visualizing environment information at a color processing center from a first color output device and a second color output device
- selecting a specific output device color matching mode from a plurality of preliminary-memorized of color matching modes on the basis of the color visualizing environment information received by the color processing center;
- processing said color image data on the basis of the selecting color matching mode to obtain processed color image data;
- and
- transmitting the processed color image data to said first and second image output device.
