After processing the color signals to generate four color signals of C, M, Y and K, a film original plate of each color corresponding to the four color signals is created. The black (K) plate signal is generated from the three color signals of C, M, and Y for the purpose of, for example, compensating for the density of the shadow portion, improving the tightness of the image, and obtaining a printed product with a calm feel.

る。Conventionally, the black (K) plate signal is generated by converting the minimum value of the three color signals of C, M and Y which are input signals, and the obtained black (K) plate signal is The tone curve can be used for adjustment. Further, the black (K) plane signal can be adjusted together with other C, M and Y color signals in a color correction circuit.

されないような事態が生じてしまう。That is, in the conventional method, when the amount of black (K) plate signal added to the turbid color is increased, adjustment is performed by changing the tone curve of the black (K) plate signal or performing color correction. In this case, if the tone curve of the black (K) plate signal is adjusted, not only the color but also the amount of the black (K) plate signal with respect to gray changes, which causes a problem that the reproduced gradation changes. In addition, when you try to make adjustments using the color correction, the amount of change for vivid colors is set to be large in the normal color correction. K) The influence of the plate signal becomes large, or a situation occurs in which the essential turbid color is hardly adjusted.
