Abstract
An image color processing apparatus to change a luminance dynamic range includes a maximum calculation unit configured to calculate the maximum of at least three components of the input color; a brightness mapper configured to apply a predetermined function to the maximum, yielding an output value, where the function has a constraint that the output value for the highest value of the maximum cannot be higher than 1.0; a scaling parameter calculator configured to calculate a scaling parameter being equal to the output value divided by the maximum; a multiplier configured to multiply the three color components of the input color by the scaling parameter, yielding the color components of the output color; and at least one component multiplier configured to multiply a component of the input color with a weight being a real number yielding a scaled component prior to input of that component in the maximum calculation unit.
