Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing device converts image data, which is data of an image expressed in a first color space, into an expression in a second color space used in rendering by using a color conversion profile prepared in advance, generates a converted image data, and generates a rendering image corresponding to the appearance of the printed-on print medium in a virtual space by performing physical based rendering of the printed-on print medium on which the image has been printed, using the converted image date and parameters necessary for performing physical based rendering of the print medium as a 3D object.
