Abstract
Abstract A state transition display window displays a hue circle and a number of setting points corresponding to respective color adjustment levels. As the user makes color adjustments, a history of the color adjustments is displayed in the form of arrows connecting related setting points. If the user specifies two setting points, images corresponding to setting point located on the line connecting the two specified setting points are displayed on an image display subwindow. A current image and six images adjacent thereto are displayed in a 6 near images display window.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
An image processing apparatus comprising: means for displaying levels of image adjustments to be performed on original image data that requires image processing multi-dimensionally on a display; means for allowing designation of two of the multi-dimensionally displayed image adjustment levels; and means for displaying, on the display, reference images of adjusted image data obtained by performing, on the original image data, image adjustments of a given number of stepped image adjustment levels existing in a direction defined by the two designated image adjustment levels.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
An image processing apparatus comprising: means for displaying levels of image adjustments to be performed on original image data that requires image processing multi-dimensionally on a display; means for allowing designation of two of the multi-dimensionally displayed image adjustment levels; and means for displaying, on the display, reference images of adjusted image data obtained by performing, on the original image data, image adjustments of a given number of stepped image adjustment levels existing in a direction defined by the two designated image adjustment levels.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The image processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reference images are displayed such that a particular reference image is varied in time series.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
71 words
The image processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: means for storing a color reproduction range of an output device; means for comparing the color reproduction range of the output device pith a gamut of each of the reference images; and means for changing a display form of a reference image a for which the comparing means has judged that the gamut is out of the color reproduction range.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
120 words
An image processing apparatus comprising: means for displaying a first reference image of first adjusted image data obtained by performing a first image adjustment on original image data that requires image processing; means for displaying a second reference image of second adjusted image data obtained by performing a second image a adjustment on the original image data based on an image adjustment level deviated from that of the first image adjustment by a given level difference; and means for displaying reference images of adjusted image data obtained by performing, on the original image data, image adjustments of a given number of stepped image adjustment levels existing in a direction defined by the levels of the first and second image adjustments.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
120 words
An image processing apparatus comprising: means for displaying a first reference image of first adjusted image data obtained by performing a first image adjustment on original image data that requires image processing; means for displaying a second reference image of second adjusted image data obtained by performing a second image a adjustment on the original image data based on an image adjustment level deviated from that of the first image adjustment by a given level difference; and means for displaying reference images of adjusted image data obtained by performing, on the original image data, image adjustments of a given number of stepped image adjustment levels existing in a direction defined by the levels of the first and second image adjustments.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
81 words
An image processing method comprising the steps of: displaying levels of image adjustments to be performed on original image data that requires image processing multi-dimensionally on a display; allowing designation of two of the multi-dimensionally displayed image adjustment levels; and displaying, on the display, reference images of adjusted image data obtained by performing, on the original image data, image adjustments of a given number of stepped image adjustment levels existing in a direction defined by the two designated image adjustment levels.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
81 words
An image processing method comprising the steps of: displaying levels of image adjustments to be performed on original image data that requires image processing multi-dimensionally on a display; allowing designation of two of the multi-dimensionally displayed image adjustment levels; and displaying, on the display, reference images of adjusted image data obtained by performing, on the original image data, image adjustments of a given number of stepped image adjustment levels existing in a direction defined by the two designated image adjustment levels.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
116 words
An image processing method comprising the steps of: displaying a first reference image of first adjusted image data obtained by performing a first image adjustment on original image data that requires image processing; displaying a second reference image of second adjusted image data obtained by performing a second image adjustment on the original image data based on an image adjustment level deviated from that of the first image adjustment by a given level difference; and displaying reference images of adjusted image data obtained by performing, on the original image data, image adjustments of a given number of stepped image adjustment levels existing in a direction defined by the levels of the first and second image adjustments.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
116 words
An image processing method comprising the steps of: displaying a first reference image of first adjusted image data obtained by performing a first image adjustment on original image data that requires image processing; displaying a second reference image of second adjusted image data obtained by performing a second image adjustment on the original image data based on an image adjustment level deviated from that of the first image adjustment by a given level difference; and displaying reference images of adjusted image data obtained by performing, on the original image data, image adjustments of a given number of stepped image adjustment levels existing in a direction defined by the levels of the first and second image adjustments.
