Abstract:
An image processing method of performing a correction process based on an observation environment by using a color management module, comprising:an input step, of inputting device discrimination information and observation environment information; a selection step, of, based on the device discrimination information, selecting a profile from a stored profile group, the profile having a public region and a private region, wherein, in the public region, conversion data indicating a relationship between a standard color space and a device color space is stored; a rewrite step, of rewriting the selected profile by rewriting color correction data described in the public region of the selected profile, based on the observation environment information; an addition step, of adding the rewritten profile to the profile group; and a performance step, of performing a color matching process on the image data by causing the color management module to use the profile data which corresponds to the device discrimination information.
