  • Patent number: 7688332
    Abstract: An image processing parameter is determined by moving an image displayed on a map representing a color space to an arbitrary position on the map, and an image process corresponding to the arbitrary position is performed to the image at the position after the movement. Besides, the map representing the color space is displayed, and an image processing parameter is determined by relatively moving on the map an image in regard to the map. By such constitutions, operability and sensuous usability in color adjustment are improved.

  • Patent number: 7245306
    Abstract: An image processing parameter is determined by moving an image displayed on a map representing a color space to an arbitrary position on the map, and an image process corresponding to the arbitrary position is performed on the image at the position after the movement. The map representing the color space is displayed, and an image processing parameter is determined by relatively moving on the map an image in regard to the map. By virtue of these features, operability and sensuous usability in color adjustment are improved.
