Abstract:
1. A color processing apparatus comprising: a holding section configured to hold a plurality of color conversion parameters in a table, wherein the plurality of color conversion parameters correspond to a plurality of gamut mapping modes, the types of the plurality of gamut mapping modes are different from each other, and the plurality of gamut mapping modes include at least a lightness-oriented mode and a chroma-oriented mode; a displaying section configured to display a user interface for selecting one of the types of the plurality of gamut mapping modes; a determining section configured to determine a gamut mapping mode among the plurality of gamut mapping modes in accordance with a user instruction input from the user interface; a selector configured to select a color conversion parameter, which corresponds to the determined gamut mapping mode, from the table; an obtaining section configured to obtain a color gamut of an output device; a setting section arranged to set a moving range of a focal point in accordance with the selected color conversion parameter; and a mapping section configured to perform gamut mapping based on the color gamut of the output device and the moving range of the focal point, wherein the moving range of the focal point in the lightness-oriented mode is larger than that in the chroma-oriented mode, and wherein the mapping section sets the focal point corresponding to input color in the moving range and maps the input color into the color gamut of the output device using the set focal point.
