Image retouching program
Provided is photo retouching software which is easy for photo studio personnel to use. Upon opening photo image(s), special photo retoucher converts photo image data thereof to working color space image data. At such time(s), if working ICC profile(s) is/are set which is/are different from ICC profile(s) previously embedded in such photo image file(s), color perceptual matching is carried out on the photo image data thereof based on such embedded ICC profile(s) and working ICC profile(s) when such photo image file(s) is/are opened. Furthermore, when such photo image(s) is/are displayed at monitor(s), such image data is converted to monitor color space image data through color matching using working ICC profile(s) and monitor ICC profile(s).
1. A print control apparatus comprising:

a controller configured to register type(s) of abnormalities that are to be communicated,
wherein the controller communicates, via a telecommunications line, an occurrence of an abnormality of a print apparatus in response to an occurrence of the abnormality of the print apparatus in the first mode and the abnormality being one of the registered type(s) of abnormalities; and
wherein, in a second mode which is different from the watchdog mode, the controller periodically communicates, via a telecommunications line, abnormality data recorded in the database.
2. The print control apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a receiver which receives indication of an abnormality to be communicated,
wherein a communicator, in the first mode, in response to an occurrence of the indicated abnormality, communicates the occurrence of the abnormality.
3. The print control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller, in the first mode, communicates an occurrence of an abnormality by using an e-mail.
4. The print control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein:
in the first mode, the controller makes the communicator communicate an occurrence of an abnormality to a center apparatus and makes the center apparatus send an e-mail for communicating the occurrence of the abnormality;
in the second mode, the controller makes the communicator communicate an abnormality data to the center apparatus and makes the center apparatus store the abnormality data.
5. A center apparatus comprising:
a getter which gets information from a print control apparatus comprising a controller configured to register type(s) of abnormalities that are to be communicated;
a reporter which reports, via a telecommunications line, an abnormality in response to a communication of an occurrence of an abnormality gotten from the print control apparatus in a first mode which is a watchdog mode, the abnormality being one of the registered type(s) of abnormalities; and
a database which records the information gotten from the print control apparatus in a second mode which is different from the watchdog mode.
6. The center apparatus according to claim 5 , further comprising:
a www server which transmits a web page for displaying information stored in a storage unit to a www browser in response to a request from a user who used the www browser.
7. The center apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein, in the first mode, the reporter reports an occurrence of an abnormality by using an e-mail.
8. A print control system comprising:
a mode setter which receives a setting of a first mode which is in a watchdog mode;
a controller configured to register type(s) of abnormalities that are to be communicated,
a reporter, which, in a first mode, in response to an occurrence of an abnormality in a print apparatus and the abnormality being one of the registered type(s) of abnormalities, reports the occurrence of the abnormality to a user via telecommunication line; and
a database, which, in a second mode which is different from the watchdog mode, stores the abnormality of the print apparatus.
9. The print control system according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a receiver which receives indication of an abnormality to be communicated,
wherein the communicator, in the first mode, in response to an occurrence of the indicated abnormality, communicates the occurrence of the abnormality.
10. The print control system according to claim 8 , wherein:
the controller, in the first mode, communicates an occurrence of an abnormality by using an e-mail.
11. The print control system according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a www server which transmits a web page for displaying information stored in a storage unit to a www browser in response to a request from a user who used the www browser.
12. A print control method comprising:
(a) registering type(s) of abnormalities that are to be communicated;
(b) receiving a setting of a first mode which is in a watchdog mode;
(c) in the first mode, in response to an occurrence of an abnormality in the print apparatus and the abnormality being one of the registered type(s) of abnormalities, reporting the occurrence of the abnormality to a user via telecommunication line; and
(d) in a second mode which is different from the watchdog mode, storing the abnormality of the print apparatus.
13. The print control method according to claim 12 , further comprising:
(e) receiving an indication of the abnormality to be communicated;
(f) in the first mode, in response to an occurrence of the indicated abnormality, communicating the occurrence of the abnormality,
wherein operation (c) is performed according to operation (f).
14. The print control method according to claim 12 , further comprising:
in the first mode, communicating an occurrence of an abnormality by using an e-mail.
