Abstract
A color correction profile is generated, based on a color difference between an original image prior to arbitrary color adjustment and a resulting color-adjusted image. The generated color correction profile is stored in mapping to an ID of a digital camera used for taking the image. The profile attachment technique of the invention receives each input image, sets an ID of a digital camera included in the input image as a key of retrieval, and retrieves a color correction profile stored in mapping to the ID of the digital camera (step S). When any color correction profile is retrieved successfully corresponding to the ID of the digital camera, the retrieved color correction profile is attached to the image (step S).
