  • Patent number: 8416258
    Abstract: A method for adjusting the color of images is provided. In the method, firstly, an original hue-saturation-value (HSV) color coordinate is obtained from an original image signal. Next, the original HSV color coordinate is converted into an adjusted HSV color coordinate according to color adjusting data. Afterwards, the adjusted HSV color coordinate is converted into a corrected HSV color coordinate. Then, an output image signal is generated according to the corrected HSV color coordinate.
