Abstract: A method for color correcting an input color image having input color values adapted for display on a reference display device having a plurality of input color primaries to account to provide reduced observer metemaric failure on a narrow-band display device. A metamerism correction transform is applied to the input color image to determine an output color image having output color values in an output color space appropriate for display on the narrow-band display device. The metamerism correction transform modifies colorimetry associated with the input colors to provide output color values such that an average observer metameric failure is reduced for a distribution of target observers.

Abstract: Scanner density values of a digitized image of an original film are processed so that a projection of the digitized image closely matches that image which a film projector would produce when projecting the original film. A method comprises the steps of transforming the scanner density values to printing density values; digital color balancing by writing the printing density values and a LAD patch onto film; printing the film is printed to LAD; transforming the images from device dependent color space values into device independent color space values; carrying out a relationship between the device independent color space and a display device output to obtain RGB code values; adjusting any non-linearity between the RGB code values and the display device output; and scaling the adjusted RGB code values to an appropriate bit depth.

Abstract: A method for evaluating colorimetry of viewing conditions affecting a viewer and calibrating a display device used by the viewer relative to an environment surrounding the display device is based on measuring display colorimetry data and the colorimetry of the viewing conditions and generating display and viewing condition colorimetry data, wherein the viewing conditions include the effect of surround light originating from the environment surrounding the display device and impinging upon the viewer rather than the display device. A color conversion function is calculated from the display colorimetry data and the viewing condition colorimetry data, where the color conversion function is capable of transforming an input video signal into a transformed video signal that shows an improved image based on the colorimetry of the display device and the colorimetry of the viewing conditions.

Abstract: Image transfer photographic assemblages, processes, compositions and cover sheets are described which employ a manganous compound. After processing, the manganous compound is capable of diffusing to the silver halide emulsion layer and a redox dye-releaser associated therewith to inhibit further dye release. Post-process D.sub.min stability is thereby improved.

Abstract: Curve shape control, especially for lower scale contrast, of a photographic element is achieved by employing with the silver halide emulsion layer two nondiffusible redox dye-releasing compounds of different relative reactivities, the reactivity of the compound which is more reactive being at least 1.5 times the reactivity of the compound which is less reactive. Preferred compounds are ballasted sulfonamido compounds, each of which has a color-providing moiety attached thereto through a sulfonamido group which is alkali-cleavable upon oxidation. Preferred more reactive sulfonamido compounds have a N,N-disubstituted carbamoyl ballast group. The color-providing moieties can be (1) transferred imagewise to an image-receiving layer to provide a useful image, or (2) can be merely diffused out of the element to provide a retained image therein which can be treated to form a color transparency or a motion picture film.

Abstract: Photographic elements, diffusion transfer assemblages and processes are described which employ redox dye-releasing materials and a zinc salt, such as zinc oxide, in such a form, location and concentration that it will be diffusible in the element during processing, and the dye which is released from the redox dye-releasing material during processing will have an increased stability to light exposure. The zinc salts may be incorporated in the photosensitive portion of a photosensitive element, a processing composition or a cover sheet.
