Abstract: A method for communicating a transform definition to a destination device. The transform definition outputs image parameter data based on input image data and has a channel corresponding to each output image parameter. Each channel has at least one input table, an output table and a grid table representing an input/output relation of an image transformation. The destination device is provided with: identification data identifying the communication as that of a transform definition; version data for distinguishing the transform definition from other versions of the transform definition; size data specifying a size of one of the grid table's dimensions for each channel's grid table; with input table, output table, and grid table data of any input, output, and grid table which is shared by a plurality of channels; and with input table, output table and grid table data of any private input, output, and grid tables.
