Abstract
A tonal conversion method of pictures useful upon producing reproduced pictures such as halftone pictures free of color-fog from color-fogged color original pictures of continuous tone. The tonal conversion is conducted in a manner that objective data relating to color-fog from a color original picture having color-fog thereon are obtained using undistorted X-axis pictorial information values for respective C, M and Y color plates obtained from the corresponding density values on the D axis in accordance with corresponding density characteristic curves of R, G, B photosensitive emulsion layers of a color film used upon photographing the original color pictures, thereby providing reproduced pictures free of color-fog by using a specific tonal conversion formula.
