Patent ID: 7061505

Claim:
An image processing device for converting an electronic document into an image signal which can be output to a display device, comprising: an electronic document color temperature information recognition part which recognizes color temperature information of the electronic document; a recorded product observation light source color temperature information recognition part which recognizes the color temperature information of a light source for observing a recorded product corresponding to the electronic document; a first color correction conversion part which carries out color conversion from the electronic document into an image signal having substantially the same color as the recorded product under the light source for observing the recorded product corresponding to the electronic document based on the color temperature information of the electronic document recognized by the electronic document color temperature information recognition part and the color temperature information of the light source for observing the recorded product recognized by the recorded product observation light source color temperature information recognition part; and a second color correction conversion part which carries out color conversion from the image signal converted by the first color correction conversion part into an image signal which is capable of being outputted to the display device based on the color temperature information of the light source for observing the recorded product recognized by the recorded product observation light source color temperature information recognition part to ensure that a display image is displayed in substantially the same color as the image signal converted by the first color correction conversion part irrespective of setting of the color temperature of the light source for illuminating the display device.
