Method of partial equalizing retouching in reproduction of color images

A method for smoothing retouch in electronic color image reproduction employs a coordinate pen used by the retoucher as a retouch brush, to identify image point coordinates within an image point area. The color values associated with the image point coordinates are changed as a function of the color values of the nearby image point coordinates. The size of the areas which have their color values changed is operator-selectable. The color values of the areas which are changed can be matched to the marginal values of the area, or may be replaced by a mean value of the color values within the area. By this means image contours may be flattened, and the effective noise in the image surfaces may be minimized.

Method and an apparatus for copying retouch in electronic color picture reproduction

In a method for copying retouch in color picture reproduction, color values are initially acquired by image-point-by-image-point trichromatic color picture scanning and digitization. The color values are deposited in a storage medium and are addressable by image point coordinates. With the coordinate pen of a coordinate acquisition means, the retoucher first marks a read point within a first image region from which a pattern is to be taken and a write point within a second image region into which the pattern is to be copied with image point precision. A distance between the read and write points is determined from the acquired image point coordinates and is fixed. The retoucher then acquires all image point coordinates within the first image region with the assistance of a coordinate pen. The image point coordinates of those image points within the second image region exhibiting the respective fixed distance from the acquired image points are simultaneously identified and a double coordinate pen is thus simulated. For precise pattern transfer, the color values of the first image region addressed with the assistance of the double coordinate pen are replaced image-point-by-image-point by the simultaneously addressed color values of the second image region or by values calculated from the color values.

Improvements in colour printing

1,095,814. Printing processes. FORMICA INTERNATIONAL Ltd. May 19, 1966 [May 26, 1965], No. 22382/65. Heading B6C. A method of colour printing upon web or sheet material consists in subjecting the matter to a first operation, whereby it is printed with a first overall pattern comprising zones of spaced substantially square-shaped inked areas, and thereafter subjecting the material to at least a second operation, whereby the first overall pattern is overprinted with at least a second overall pattern substantially identical in configuration, size and colour to the first overall pattern but angularly disposed in relation thereto. Although overprinting with two or more identical patterns is within the scope of the invention good results are apparently obtained with a single overprinting at an angle of between 40 and 50 degrees, and more especially at 45 degrees to the first printing. In the described apparatus intaglio printing cylinders are used, the square image areas being preferably longitudinally and circumferentially aligned.

Abstract of the Disclosure An offset process for multiple color printing in ink dyes of an original pattern to a true likeness is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of copying the pattern photo-graphically through color filter lenses to produce separate negatives in each of the respective colors desired, regulating exposure and developing variables for the separate negatives to achieve selected film emulsion densities on the respective negatives, the densities being reduced from a standard balanced negatives to define an out-of-balance negative, projecting the out-of-balance negatives through a halftone screen for uniformly dividing the pattern into a plurality of dots corresponding in sizes to the intensity of light transmission through the film emulsion to form respective halftone positive dot patterns, photoengraving each of the halftone positive dot patterns respectively on a corresponding lithographic plate, and printing the dot patterns respectively on a transfer medium corresponding to that on the lighograph plates by depositing ink dyes in the respective colors from each of the plates. Also disclosed is an article of manufacture comprising a transfer medium having an out-of-balance dot pattern produced by the process just described, and formed thereon with superimposed sublimable ink beads in registration, the ink beads being heat-transferable onto a textile fabric for producing a continuous tone pattern.

Image processing apparatus and method

An objective color for a target color is set based on characteristic of the target color on a hue area to which the target color belongs in a color space represented by lightness, chroma and hue, and a shape of the most outer point of a color gamut reproducible by an output device on the hue area. A correction coefficient is calculated based on lightness, chroma and hue of the target color, lightness, chroma and hue of the objective color, a distance between the most outer point and the target color in the color space, and a distance between the most outer point and the objective color in the color space. A color correction quantity of each pixel of the image is calculated based on a distance between the target color and the objective color in the color space, a distance between the target color and a color of each pixel in the color space, the correction coefficient, and lightness and chroma of each pixel. The color of each pixel is corrected based on the color correction quantity.

Method of producing color separation negatives with reduced contrast

An initial step of inspection of a positive color transparency is performed to determine the darkest detail area thereof to be reproduced and is subsequently followed by trial enlarger exposing of a color separation negative film sheet through the positive color transparency and a half-tone screen with sufficient light to properly expose the corresponding area of the trial film. Thereafter, the trial film is developed with sufficiently less developing time and greater developer strength (to compensate for the less developing time) to achieve the desired "dot size" in the aforementioned corresponding area of the negative as well as in the lighter detail areas thereof. If sufficient detail of the aforementioned corresponding area is not brought out, a greater exposure time is allowed during exposure of a subsequent trial color separation negative film sheet and correspondingly less development time of the subsequent negative film sheet is allowed until the desired "dot size" throughout the resultant color separation negative is achieved. Thereafter the actual color separation negatives to be utilized are produced using the same exposure time, developing time and developer strength determined by the aforementioned trial steps.

An image processing apparatus for previewing an output result to be output by an image output device includes a first color designating device having a plane member on which an original is mountable, the device for inputting coordinate information relating to a color in the original, a second color designating device for designating a color on a preview image, a color converting device for performing a color conversion on the basis of the color designated by the first color designating device or the color designated by the second color designating device, and an operator input device for determining whether or not a preview image showing a processing result of color conversion based on the color designated by the first color designating device is unsuitable to an operator. If the preview image showing a processing result of the color conversion based on the color designated by the first color designating device is unsuitable to an operator, a color is designated by the second color designating device.
