A system and method for enhancing a print using a color imaging system are provided. The automatic color enhancement system results in digital prints that have a photographic 'look and feel' by using special profiles and adjustments that capture the traditional photographic image process of photo-like color and tone scale reproduction to RGB-encoded picture elements and to be used to combine in with electrophotographic process media ICC profile.

Color print enhancement system with conversion of PCS encoded picture into photographic process confined PCS and correction for finish

A system that combines a reference color image with a color move tracer image creating a combined image capable of being edited as desired by the operator and one which records the actual color edits made on the reference image. The tracer is a color grid that represents the domain of colors in a specified color space encoding. The grid is converted into a color edit transform table and the color edits within the color space on a higher resolution version of the reference image, or on other images, can be performed using a table look-up operation. The invention can also be used to capture effects transforms that modify the input/output and/or screen display of an image without necessarily modifying the original image.
