The acquisition unit acquires, from a display device that displays an image on a display screen, device information peculiar to the display device. The memory stores reference data used to prepare a reference image to be displayed by the display device. The preparation unit prepares output image data including the reference image using the device information acquired by the acquisition unit and the reference data read from the memory to output the output image data to the display device.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image information transmission unit, a color information acquisition unit, and a conversion relationship creation unit. The image information transmission unit transmits, to a display device, pieces of color-conversion image information representing images used for performing color conversion for the display device, in ascending order of lightness of the images in a predetermined color space. The color information acquisition unit acquires color information of each image that is displayed on the display device in accordance with a corresponding piece of color-conversion image information among the pieces of color-conversion image information that have been transmitted by the image information transmission unit. The conversion relationship creation unit creates, on the basis of the color information that has been acquired by the color information acquisition unit, a conversion relationship for a color of an image to be displayed on the display device.

Abstract: A color adjustment device includes: a conversion unit that converts color values of a second color space stored in a color conversion table, which defines a correspondence relation between color values of a first color space and color values of the second color space, into color values of a third color space independent from a device outputting an image; a storage unit that stores tables that define different input-output characteristics depending on color values of the third color space; and a change unit that selects at least one table from the tables according to a specified adjustment method, and executes a change process that changes color values of the second color space stored in the color conversion table by using the at least one table.

Abstract: An image adjusting apparatus includes the following elements. A set color temperature obtaining unit obtains a set color temperature which is set when a white image is displayed, in an image display apparatus. A maximum tone value calculator calculates a maximum tone value of a reference color when the displayed white image is changed into a white image corresponding to the set color temperature. A tone characteristic setting unit sets a tone characteristic of the reference color on the basis of the calculated maximum tone value. If the calculated maximum tone value is decreased from a maximum tone value before the set color temperature is set, the tone characteristic setting unit corrects, in a region in which a tone value of an input image signal is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, the tone characteristic so that a tone value of an output image signal is increased.

Abstract: A color adjustment device includes a color-value obtaining unit, a color-property-value deriving unit, a correction-item selection unit, a target-property-value setting unit, a correction-coefficient deriving unit, and a color-adjustment-profile generating unit. The color-value obtaining unit obtains color values when an image is displayed on image display devices. The color-property-value deriving unit derives values of color properties from the color values. The correction-item selection unit selects a color property as a correction item on the basis of the derived values. The target-property-value setting unit sets a target property value for the correction item. The correction-coefficient deriving unit derives a correction coefficient to be used to correct the values of the color property to the target property value. The color-adjustment-profile generating unit generates a color-adjustment profile on the basis of the correction coefficient.
