Digital image is formed by the light that reflected from the light source, through a lens and captured by the sensor as electronic signals. The color correction for device can be processed by mathematic models in different ways. Currently, the ICC profile is the most popular method in correcting color photographs.
The objective of this study is to test the performance of various ICC profiles that made from different procedures. The influence of various exposure settings, different build-in characteristic curves and a nonlinear correction method are also tested. The performance is evaluated by color difference value between the target color checker and its reproduction. It is intended to offer these results as a benchmark reference to ICC profile performance for color management on digital camera.
