摘要： A method for constructing an extended color gamut digital image from a limited color gamut digital image which was derived from a first extended color gamut image includes providing a modified inverse color adjustment function which when such function operates on a limited color gamut digital image an extended color gamut digital image having reduced highlight color saturation for highlight color values when compared with corresponding color values of the first extended color gamut image is produced, and operating on the limited color gamut digital image with the modified inverse color adjustment function to construct the extended color gamut digital image with reduced color saturation for highlight color values that results in reduced levels of color contouring and quantization artifacts.

摘要： An apparatus and method for compensating for light falloff in a film master frame of a photographic image. A masking unit is positioned between the master frame and copy material in an optical printer. The masking unit may be an LCD panel. A controller calculates a light falloff compensation function to produce a light falloff correction parameter that is used to control the transmittance values of a plurality of pixels in the masking unit. When a photographic copy is made, the masking function serves to counteract light falloff that existed in the master frame to produce a copy with reduced effect from light falloff. Control and selection of the light falloff compensation function can be based on a number of factors related to the camera type, lens type, film type, flash type, and other factors that created the light falloff on the master frame. In addition, one or more of the master frames from a roll of film may be scanned to generate data to drive the light falloff compensation function. The data may be averaged to improve performance of the system.
