Abstract
An image processing device, an image processing method, and a program enable easily acquiring for each profile information related to the amount of ink that is required to record image data after the image data is converted using a particular profile. A host computertransforms reference image databased on an ICC profilefor transforming image data to image data in a different color space, and outputs transformed reference image data. Based on a lookup tablefor transforming the coordinate values of a color space to ink volume information in an ink color space rendered by plural different types of ink, the transformed reference image datais converted to ink volume information, and based on this ink volume information and the reference image databefore the transformation, ink information correlating the ink volume information to the colors contained in the reference image databefore transformation is produced.
