  • Patent number: 9917987
    Abstract: A non-transitory machine readable medium that has a computer program for adjusting color values of an image represented in a color space is described. The computer program displays the image on a display device. The computer program receives several inputs on the displayed image. The several inputs include a selection of a point on the displayed image and a vector input. The computer program identifies a pixel of the image that corresponds to the selected point. Based on the color values of the identified pixel and the vector input, the program determines a color space transform for mapping a set of color values defined within the color space to a different set of color values.

  • Publication number: 20150103093
    Abstract: An image organizing and editing application receives and edits the colors of a target image in relation to the colors of a reference image. The application displays vectorscope representations of the colors of a target image and the colors of a reference image. The application receives adjustments to the vectorscope representation of the target image and adjusts the colors of the target image according to the received adjustments to the representation.

  • Patent number: 8823726
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program that performs a color balance operation. The program identifies an image that includes several pixels. Each pixel includes a luma component value and chroma component values. The program analyzes the luma component values of the pixels in the image to identify several luma ranges. The program determines, for each luma range in the several luma ranges, a set of transforms for modifying chroma component values of pixels in the image in order to remove a color cast from the image. The program applies the sets of transforms to the image to remove the color casts from the image.

  • Publication number: 20120210229
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of providing tools for a media-editing application. The method provides a first tool that, upon invocation for a first image, initiates an automated process that adjusts colors of pixel values of the first image based on analysis of the pixel values. The method provides a second tool that, upon selection of the first image and a second image, adjusts colors of the first image to match the colors of the second image.
