Abstract
A tone-conversion-characteristic determining apparatus determines tone-conversion characteristics for use in converting tone characteristics of original data so that targeted tone characteristics are obtained when display is performed by a display device. The apparatus includes a tristimulus value determining unit that, on the basis of tristimulus values corresponding to a tone value of each of a plurality of colors capable of being displayed by the display device, determines a tristimulus value which is greater than the other tristimulus values, and a tone-conversion-characteristic determining unit that, on the basis of the tristimulus value determined by the tristimulus value determining unit, determines the tone-conversion characteristics so that the targeted tone characteristics are obtained.
