Claim One:
1. A method for color correction of a color image, comprising the steps of: storing a color image or a corrected color image in an image store; displaying the stored color image, the corrected color image, or other image data on a monitor; indicating image coordinates on the monitor with a coordinate input unit; storing color samples in a color sample memory; correcting color values of the stored color image with a color computer; collecting color samples from the color image with the coordinate input unit, the collected color samples forming a color sample space later employed for selective color correction; storing color values of the collected color samples in the color sample memory; subjecting the collected color samples to a filtering; displaying on the monitor the collected color samples in a color space having a color coordinate system; inputting color correction values which modify colors defined by the color sample space; with the color computer, using the color sample space that has been produced and the color correction values for selective color correction of the color image; and storing a resulting corrected color image in the image store.
