Abstract: In converting image sensing data into image data, a plurality of image sensing data meeting a predetermined condition are processed as a group of image sensing data. An image reproduction parameter is obtained from this image sensing data group, and each image sensing data of the image sensing data group is converted into image data by using the image reproduction parameter. Accordingly, an image reproduction parameter for obtaining an optimum reproduced image can be accurately set from the image sensing data group. Also, since a reproduction luminance level (range) is determined from the image sensing data group, the correlation between the luminances of image planes is not lost. This allows an easy comparison of reproduced images and prevents the boundaries of luminances from becoming unnatural when the reproduced images are synthesized.

Abstract: An image processing method whereby when a display of a light source color to display a visible image by a color generation and a display of a material color to display a visible image by depositing a coloring agent onto a material to be recorded are color matched, a luminance component of the material color display is corrected so as to be larger than the luminance component of the light source color display. The correction of the luminance component is executed after converting into color space signals which don't depend on characteristic of the visible image display apparatus to be used. The luminance component is raised in the conversion from an input signal of the light source color display into an output signal of the material color display and the luminance component is reduced in the conversion from an input signal of the material color display into an output signal of the light source color display.

The converted image data is further subjected to color conversion based on a reference white color determined when an observation is made. The resultant image data is output to the image output device.
