Abstract:
1. A method of reproducing an image using output prediction, comprising: converting color information of a first color space input to an image display device into color information of a second color space, in accordance with a sampled viewing environment of an output object of a printing device; selecting a specific color distortion region according to a difference between an actual viewing environment and the sampled viewing environment of the second color space, and compensating a color component of the selected specific color distortion region to generate corrected color information of the second color space; and converting the corrected color information of the second color space into corrected color information of the first color space, and outputting the corrected color information of the first color space through the image display device; wherein the specific color distortion region is selected through a visual matching process, in which a soft-proofed image predicted by the image display device is visually compared with the image of the output object of the printing device; wherein the color information of the first color space comprises color information of an RGB color space, and the color information of the second color space comprises color information of a Jab color space; and wherein the color distortion region is compensated according to each color component, and the color component comprises at least one of a luminance component, a saturation component, and a hue component.
