Claims2
A color reproduction system comprising:
- a color image input section;
- and
- a color correcting section for correcting colors of an image of a subject obtained by photographing the subject by the color image input section, wherein
- the color correcting section comprises:
- an object recognizing section for dividing a subject image input from the color image input section into images of a plurality of areas, and selecting a suitable input profile from among a plurality of input profiles for each divided area;
- a device-independent color converting section for converting an image of each area into a device-independent color image by using the input profile selected from among the plurality of input profiles;
- an image combining section for combining the device-independent color images converted at divided areas into one device-independent color image;
- and
- a device value image converting section for converting the combined device-independent color image into an output device value image by using a predetermined output profile.
