COLOR IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING COLOR ADJUSTMENT AND COLOR CONVERSION PROCESSING

By using the memory which stores the first lattice point color coordinates data equivalent to the lattice point address of the color conversion LUT data which is referred to at the time of color conversion processing, the color adjustment parameter composition section which composes the color adjustment parameter in accordance with the instruction information of the input color adjustments, and the color adjustment section which outputs the second lattice point coordinates data by conducting color adjustment on the first lattice point color coordinates stored in the memory by using this color adjustment parameter, and after converting the second lattice point color coordinates data to the second lattice point color coordinates data expressed in the second color space, conduct conversion processing on the input image data expressed in the first/color space in accordance with the color conversion LUT data which is renewed by this. It is a color image processing apparatus that possesses at least a color conversion section which outputs the output image data expressed in the second color space. By doing so, color conversion processing only for the color adjustment processing becomes unnecessary. Thus, it is possible to provide an image processing apparatus that can conduct color conversion processing with rapid color adjustment.
