By changing coefficients of second-order and first-order calculation terms relating to respective hues, and first-order calculation terms in the form of comparison-result data relating to respective inter-hue areas, only the target hue or inter-hue area among the six hues of red, blue, green, yellow
By changing coefficients of second-order and first-order calculation terms relating to respective hues, and first-order calculation terms in the form of comparison-result data relating to respective inter-hue areas, only the target hue or inter-hue area among the six hues of red, blue, green, yellow, cyan, and magenta, and the six inter-hue areas can be varied, without affecting other hues and inter-hue areas. Thus, the six hues and six inter-hue areas can be corrected independently, and the large-capacity memory is not required.
