Abstract:
1. A color-adjusting apparatus comprising: a total color-adjusting stage operable to perform a total color adjustment for data of an inputted color with respect to a total color to output data of a result vector of the total color adjustment; a specific color-adjusting stage operable to perform a specific color adjustment for the data of the inputted color with respect to a specific color to output data of a result vector of the specific color adjustment; and a composing unit operable to linearly compose the data of the result vector of the total color adjustment output by said total color-adjusting stage and the data of the result vector of the specific color adjustment output by said specific color-adjusting stage; wherein said total color-adjusting stage and said specific color-adjusting stage are provided to operate in a parallel manner; wherein, when a degree that said total color-adjusting stage adjusts the data of the inputted color increases, then a degree that said specific color-adjusting stage adjusts the data of the inputted color decreases; wherein, when a degree that said total color-adjusting stage adjusts the data of the inputted color decreases, then a degree that said specific color-adjusting stage adjusts the data of the inputted color increases; wherein said total color-adjusting stage includes a multiplying unit operable to multiply a total color-adjusting vector by a coefficient to generate the data for the result vector of the total color adjustment; wherein said total color-adjusting stage comprises: wherein said specific color-adjusting stage comprises: wherein, when the total color-weighting coefficient increases, then the specific color-weighting coefficient decreases; wherein, when the total color-weighting coefficient decreases, then the specific color-weighting coefficient increases; and wherein said composing unit is operable to add the inputted color, the result vector of the total color adjustment, and the result vector of the specific color adjustment to output data of an adjusted color.
