Abstract:
1. A method for enhancing a digital image which was captured by an image capture device and which is to be printed on a printer which forms monochrome or color images, on a receiver, comprising the steps of: a. receiving an RGB input device profile from a digital image captured by a capture device using RGB-encoded picture elements; b. transforming RGB encoded picture elements using RGB input device profile into profile connection space (PCS) encoded picture elements confined by the input device; c. selecting a pair of transforms from the plurality of photographic process device RGB transforms and using such selected paired transforms to convert the transformed PCS encoded picture elements of input device confined PCS into another PCS encoded picture elements of photographic process confined PCS space; d. adjusting the PCS encoded picture elements of colors in the photographic process confined PCS space; e. correcting the PCS encoded picture elements transformed digital image to produce a new digital image which is corrected for color and tonal reproduction when printed from the printer on a receiver with a finish; and f. using the printer to print the corrected transformed digital image by the printer on that receiver with that finish.
