Abstract
In a system and method for providing a uniform light source for color correction processes, the system includes a plurality of flashlamps for generating a theoretical point light source. The system further includes a power supply for sequentially activating each of the plurality of flashlamps. The system also includes an element for integrating the light generated by the plurality of lamps. The plurality of flashlamps are mounted in the integrating element so as to direct the substantially uniform light generated thereby out from the integrating element.
