NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109357 titled 'NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image processing apparatus that controls the lightness compression ratio of different image regions based on the setting for printing an image using a spot color that is different from process colors.

  • The apparatus adjusts the lightness compression ratio of image regions based on whether they correspond to the spot color or not.
  • The apparatus also controls the display of the image after the adjustments are made.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in printing industries for optimizing image quality when using spot colors in addition to process colors.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of maintaining consistent image quality when using spot colors in printing, by adjusting the lightness compression ratio accordingly.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved image quality, better color accuracy, and enhanced printing results when using spot colors.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the printing and graphic design industries, where accurate color reproduction is essential for high-quality output.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of color management systems in printing to ensure accurate color reproduction, but specific techniques for adjusting lightness compression ratios based on spot colors may not have been addressed.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact the overall printing process efficiency?

This article does not address how the implementation of this technology affects the speed or efficiency of the printing process.

What are the potential limitations of this technology in terms of color accuracy?

This article does not discuss any potential limitations or challenges that may arise in maintaining color accuracy when using this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

an image processing apparatus caused to perform controlling for making a first lightness compression ratio of a first image region higher than a second lightness compression ratio of a second image region based on a setting for printing an image using a spot color that is different from process colors being set, the first image region not corresponding to the spot color in the image, and the second image region corresponding to the spot color in the image, and controlling for displaying the image after the first controlling is executed.
