Patent ID: 8350869

Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving a profile that includes a simulation transform capable of converting initial tristimulus color values into resultant tristimulus color values that simulate color blindness, wherein the profile is a color management profile associated with a first or a second color space; translating color data from the first color space to the second color space, said translating comprising using the simulation transform from the profile to convert the initial tristimulus color values to the resultant tristimulus color values, wherein the resultant tristimulus color values are capable of simulating the appearance of a color image to a colorblind person; maintaining the color data from the first color space in an unaltered state during said translation of color data; and presenting one or more trichromatic images on a display without a simulated dichromatic appearance based at least in part on the initial tristimulus color values while presenting one or more trichromatic images on the display with a simulated dichromatic appearance based at least in part on the resultant tristimulus color values.
