Abstract

A color conversion adjustment method is provided which enables correct judgment on a fine gray balance. In a process of adjusting or confirming gray correction conversion for correcting a gray balance, a plurality of color patches, whose gray balances are varied discretely, are lined up, and a gray correction chart, whose background portion other than the color patches is outputted at a black color of a predetermined density, is outputted. The black color of the background portion is a standard for judging the color balance. Because the color patches and the black color are printed on the same paper, there is no deterioration in the gray balance due to differences in papers, and accordingly, fine gray balance can be judged more accurately.
