Abstract:
1. An image forming device for generating color data contained in a second color gamut of a second device based on color data contained in a first color gamut of a first device; the image forming device comprising: a color data generation unit that is operable to divide the first color gamut into two or more layers based on grid point coordinates of a color conversion lookup table; a color gamut compression unit that is operable to generate a chroma value of each layer of the second color gamut based on a chroma value of each layer of the first color gamut; and an LUT generation unit that is operable to generate the color conversion lookup table based on the generated second color gamut wherein the color data generation unit is operable to, the color gamut compression unit is operable to, the LUT generation unit is operable to generates the color conversion lookup table based on the second color gamut generated through compression.
