Abstract
The present invention is to provide an image processing system and the method thereof capable of maintaining gradient characteristics near a black point of an output image, when performing color matching in a color printer, even if a source profile has a lower minimum lightness value of output color gamut. In the present invention, when a condition is matched by comparing the minimum lightness points of the source profile and output color gamut, a correction color conversion table is generated by correcting the minimum lightness point of the output color gamut to a correction target value set in advance. Color conversion is performed for an input image using the correction color conversion table.
