calculating, for each pixel in the original image, a corrected color direction of the original color coordinate of the pixel in the original color gamut; and

calculating, for each pixel in the original image, the target color coordinate of the original color coordinate of the pixel in the target color gamut based on respective relative positions of the original color coordinate of the pixel relative to a corresponding boundary of the original color gamut and a corresponding boundary of the target color gamut in the corrected color direction.

collecting statistics of the original lightness values of the pixels in the original image to determine a maximum lightness value and an average lightness value of the original image;

normalizing the original lightness value of each pixel in the original image based on the maximum lightness value and the average lightness value; and

calculating a target lightness value of each pixel in the target image based on the normalized original lightness value of the pixel and a permitted maximum lightness value of the target image.
