Abstract:
1. A profile correcting device comprising: a processor; and memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the profile correcting device to implement: generating a first profile including first values representing correspondence relationship between input color values and first colorimetric values, generating a second profile including second values representing correspondence relationship between the input color values and second colorimetric values, generating a corrected second profile including corrected second values representing correspondence relationship between the input color values and corrected second colorimetric values, wherein the corrected second colorimetric values are obtained by: replacing the second colorimetric value for the white value with a value equal to the first colorimetric value for the white value; replacing the second colorimetric value for the black value with a value equal to the first colorimetric value for the black value, replacing the second colorimetric value for the near-white color value with a particular input color value, replacing the second colorimetric value for the near-black color value with another input color value, wherein the lightness of the particular input color value and the lightness of the another input color value are determined based on the second colorimetric value for each input color value; wherein the saturation of the particular input color value and the saturation of the another input color value are determined based on the second colorimetric value for each input color value.
