  • Publication number: 20150029557
    Abstract: Provided is photo retouching software which is easy for photo studio personnel to use. Upon opening photo image(s), special photo retoucher converts photo image data thereof to working color space image data. At such time(s), if working ICC profile(s) is/are set which is/are different from ICC profile(s) previously embedded in such photo image file(s), color perceptual matching is carried out on the photo image data thereof based on such embedded ICC profile(s) and working ICC profile(s) when such photo image file(s) is/are opened. Furthermore, when such photo image(s) is/are displayed at monitor(s), such image data is converted to monitor color space image data through color matching using working ICC profile(s) and monitor ICC profile(s).

  • Patent number: 7557950
    Abstract: Disclosed is a printing system suitable for use at photo studio(s) and permitting printing of color photograph(s) as desired by user(s). Client machine(s) 5A, 5B may acquire photo image(s) from digital camera(s) 6 and may carry out editing (retouching and/or print layout/design editing) of photo image(s). At the start of editing, working color profile(s) may be set for photo image(s) editing operations, and color matching may be carried out on photo image(s) using color profile(s) for digital camera(s) 6 and working color profile(s). During editing, such photo image(s) may be displayed at monitor(s), at which time color matching may be carried out on such photo image(s) using monitor color profile(s) and color profile(s) for such photo image(s). After editing is completed, edited photo image(s) and working color profile(s) for same may be sent to print server machine(s) 2.

  • Patent number: 7258498
    Abstract: Disclosed is/are printing system(s) suitable for photo studio(s) and having capabilities permitting proper management of print job execution history or histories, printer status(es), and/or the like. Photo studio(s) 1 has print server machine(s) 2 and plurality of client machines 5A, 5B connected via LAN(s) 4. Client machine(s) 5A, 5B create print job data which is received by print server machine(s) 2, the print job(s) being assigned to plurality of printers 3A, 3B where it or they is or are executed. Print server machine(s) 2 manage print job execution history, printer status, and/or other such print information. User(s) may employ WWW browser(s) of client machine(s) 5A, 5B to access print information at print server machine(s) 2.

  • Publication number: 20040059995
    Abstract: In response to selection of a desired paper material for printing among multiple paper materials settable in a printer, a system generates a print job and outputs the generated print job to a print job execution device, even when the selected paper material is not coincident with any of paper materials currently set in the printer. The print job execution device keeps the print job with the selected paper material, which is not currently set in the printer, in a standby state and executes the print job when the selected paper material is set in the printer.
