A method of making color and gradation correction performs color and gradation correction differently for a human subject image and a computer graphic image before or after composing these images. A gradation correction is carried out by the use of linear table data written in a look-up table for computer graphic images and non-linear table data for human subject images. A color correction circuit for transforming image data by the use of a matrix calculation comprises three look-up table memories and an adder for adding together outputs from the look-up table memories for each color to be color corrected. In these three look-up table memories, different table data are written in, according to the kinds of human subject image and computer graphic image. There are provided a plurality of different table data for human subject images and computer graphic images, respectively and suitable table data are selected according to a human subject image and a computer graphic image to be composed.
