Description

The present invention relates to a processing apparatus, a processing method, and a program therefor, and more particularly to a reduction in the number of patches in a calibration chart that is created by printing a recording agent on a recording medium.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a processing apparatus, a processing method, and a program for reducing the amount of recording medium and recording agent used.

Aspect of the present invention for solving the above problems, a first patch chart composed of at least 2 gradations or more patches, measured by printing using a recording agent by the first printing method on a recording medium a first acquisition means for acquiring and first colorimetric value, the second patch chart with a reduced number of patches from the first patch chart, and the first printing method on a recording medium a second acquisition means for acquiring a second colorimetric value measured by printing using a recording agent with a different second printing method, the first colorimetric value and the second colorimetric value Based on the correspondence relationship , specifying means for specifying an interpolation value when the first patch chart is printed and colorimetrically measured by the second printing method, and based on the first colorimetric value, a first creation unit that creates a correction table of the first printing method, the second colorimetric values Based on the interpolation value specified in finely the specifying unit, and a second creating means for creating a correction table of the second printing method.
