Abstract

A color conversion apparatus has an input section for inputting page information having both image information including color data and character information including color data, a color conversion section for practicing mutually different color conversions for both the image information and the character information of the entered page information, and an output section for outputting page information, which has both image information after the color conversion and character information after the color conversion.

Claims (22)

1. A color conversion apparatus comprising:

an input section for inputting page information having both image information including color data and character information including color data;

a color conversion section for practicing mutually different color conversions for both the image information and the character information of the entered page information; and

an output section for outputting page information, which has both image information after the color conversion and character information after the color conversion,

wherein said color conversion section has data determination means for determining whether unit pieces of information constituting the entered page information are each concerned with image information or character information, and said color conversion section causes the image information and the character information determined by said data determination means to be stored in mutually different files, so that the image information and the character information, which are stored in mutually different files, are separately subjected to the color conversion.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the determination means determines image information and character information automatically.

3. A color conversion apparatus comprising:

an input section for inputting page information having both image information including color data and character information including color data;

a color conversion section for practicing mutually different color conversions for both the image information and the character information of the entered page information; and

an output section for outputting page information, which has both image information after the color conversion and character information after the color conversion,

wherein said color conversion section has data determination means for determining whether unit pieces of information constituting the entered page information are each concerned with image information or character information, and said data determination means determines the entered page information, so that the determined image information or character information are sequentially subjected to the color conversion.

4. A color conversion apparatus comprising:

an input section for inputting page information having both image information including color data and character information including color data;

a color conversion section for practicing mutually different color conversions for both the image information and the character information of the entered page information; and

an output section for outputting page information, which has both image information after the color conversion and character information after the color conversion,

wherein said color conversion section has a plurality of color conversion tables and color conversion table selection means for selecting any one of a plurality of color conversion tables in accordance with an operation of a user, in which a color conversion is performed in accordance with the color conversion table selected by said color conversion table selection means.

5. A color conversion apparatus comprising:

an input section for inputting page information having both image information including color data and character information including color data;

a color conversion section for practicing mutually different color conversions for both the image information and the character information of the entered page information; and

an output section for outputting page information, which has both image information after the color conversion and character information after the color conversion,

wherein the color conversion section converts the image information using a first color conversion from a first device dependent space to a second device dependent space, and further converts the character information from the first device dependent space to the second device dependent space using a second color conversion mutually different than the first conversion between the first and second device dependent color spaces.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the first and second conversions between the first and second device dependent color spaces follow one after another sequentially.
