Abstract: A viewing angle adaptive brightness-correction method is provided, in which brightness of an image is adaptively corrected according to a viewing angle and the brightness-corrected image is displayed by an image display unit whose orientation angle is controllable, and an image forming apparatus using the same. The viewing angle adaptive brightness-correction displaying method includes detecting the orientation angle of the image display unit, brightness-correcting an input image according to the detected orientation angle, and displaying the brightness-corrected image on the image display unit. Accordingly, in an image display unit, such as an LCD having an angle adjustment function attached to a digital camera, a photo-printer and so on, a displayed image can be corrected according to the orientation angle of the LCD or a viewing angle to show the same image to a user for various viewing angles.

Abstract: A terminal device having a correction function for natural color and a method thereof are provided for creating an image closest in color to the natural color. A priority storing unit stores at a reference color data area a range of natural colors which are colors of objects existing in the natural world. A color editing unit corrects natural color image data corresponding to the natural color area, based on a command for correcting the natural area existing in a predetermined image from the user. A controlling unit decides whether the natural color image data corrected by the color editing unit is included in the reference color data area.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of forming an image using a ribbon include displaying a user interface screen to select a type of an over-coating ribbon provided in the ribbon cartridge, printing an image on a printing medium using respective color ribbons provided in the ribbon cartridge, and over-coating the printed printing medium using a selected over-coating ribbon.

Abstract: A printing method and a printing system are provided where a printing property of the printing system is stored, a printing compatibility of a printing data of an object to be printed is determined by comparing a data property of the printing data with the stored printing property of the printing system, and the determined printing compatibility is displayed to a user. Accordingly, a printing system and a printing method, which are capable of preventing user inconvenience and waste of resources due to re-printing are provided.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for setting a color profile corresponding to a user's preferred color when a driver of an image forming apparatus is installed on a computer are provided. The method includes the steps of displaying a dialog box in which a user can input information regarding the user's preferred color when the driver of the image forming apparatus is installed on the computer, receiving the input information through the dialog box, and setting a color profile corresponding to the input information in the computer. Since a user interface in which a user can input his or her color preference is provided and thus the user's color preference can be obtained through the user interface, a color image can be reproduced according to the user's color preference.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing halftone by generating a first dot pattern corresponding to a first color and a second dot pattern corresponding to a second color for a video signal having at least two colors is provided. The method includes generating the first dot pattern by halftone processing the video signal using a first screen, and generating the second dot pattern by halftone processing the video signal using a second screen, which has a relationship of complement relative to the first screen.

Abstract: Disclosed are a color management method, an apparatus thereof and a color management computer program for executing the method that enable a user to conveniently and easily select and/or change colors desired by the user in diverse ways. The color management method includes displaying a color scheme list that is a list of color schemes for providing a standard for converting the colors that constitute an image, and if a selection manipulation of one among the color schemes that constitute the displayed color scheme list is input, storing the color scheme selected by the selection manipulation.
