Patent ID: 8223396

Claim:
A color processing device comprising: a color range conversion component that, on the basis of color reproduction range information representing a color reproduction range of a designated device in a predetermined color space which is not dependent on the designated device, uses a predetermined conversion rule to specify a color range conversion condition for converting a color range of input color signals in the predetermined color space such that the color range of the input color signals will fall in the color reproduction range, and performs a color range conversion of the input color signals in accordance with the specified color range conversion condition; a control component that excludes from objects of the color range conversion by the color range conversion component a color value, of the input color signals, of which a position in the predetermined color space is outside the color reproduction range and which satisfies a predetermined condition; and a color conversion and clipping component that performs a conversion, into a color space which is dependent on the designated device, of color signals that have been subjected to the color range conversion by the color range conversion component and, after the color space conversion, applies clipping to the color value, of the input color signals, that falls outside the color reproduction range of the designated device in the color space dependent on the designated device, including rounding off such that the color value falls in the color reproduction range.
