Abstract
A color image reproduction system of the type having a color monitor, an image processing computer, and a color printer is capable of making a color print that appears as if the original image was captured by a photographic process. The effect is achieved by providing a transform embodied in a three dimensional look-up table formed by composing: a) a transform for transforming the color digital image to original scene exposures; b) a transform for transforming the video scene exposures to photographic scene exposures; c) a transform for transforming photographic scene exposures to channel-independent densities; d) a transform for transforming channel-independent densities to reproduced densities; and e) a transform for transforming the reproduced densities to control signals for driving the color hard copy output means.
