Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: obtaining an image, a corresponding color profile and state information for the image, the state information selected from a group including a scene-referred state and an output-referred state, wherein the scene-referred state indicates that applying the color profile to the image results in scene-referred image data; selecting, automatically in response to identification of the state information, an absolute colorimetric rendering intent when the state information indicates the scene-referred state and a current task in an imaging workflow comprises outputting the image to an output device; converting, automatically in response to the selecting, the image to an output-referred color space based on the color profile and using the absolute colorimetric rendering intent when the state information indicates the scene-referred state and the current task in the imaging workflow comprises outputting the image to the output device; and making the converted image available for output via the output device, wherein the output device comprises a display device, and the converting comprises:
