  • Publication number: 20150062152
    Abstract: A method for correcting colors in an image commences by first defining a set of Red-Green-Blue (RGB) color triplets corresponding to user-selected colors defining a designated are of interest in the image to undergo color correction. The set of RGB color triplets are mapped into in a color space defined by cylindrical coordinates to create a three-dimensional look-up table (3D-LUT) that represents a first color range for the designated area of interest. The 3D-LUT undergoes adjustment to establish a second color range. Thereafter, the image is rendered using the 3D-LUT to replace colors in the designated area of interest with colors in the second color range.

  • Patent number: 8810645
    Abstract: A system and method for calibrating a production film scanner is provided. The system and method provides for providing at least one first calibration frame on an intermediate film stock providing at least one second calibration frame on a negative film stock, scanning the at least first and second calibration frames with a reference film scanner, scanning the at least first and second calibration frames with a production film scanner, and determining a compensation calibration factor from a first result of the scanning with the reference film scanner and a second result of the production film scanner.

  • Publication number: 20140176743
    Abstract: Provided are a method, apparatus and system for publishing creative looks in a camera using three dimensional look-up tables. The system includes a user input device for defining a set of parameters directed to generating a creative look, a creative look generator for generating a respective three-dimensional lookup table for each set of defined parameters, each three-dimensional lookup table representing a respective creative look and a creative look publisher for enabling the selection of at least one creative look to be applied to at least one image captured by the camera.
