When information is received specifying a desired product and a desired light
source type, e.g. a type of a light source used in an environment in which the
product, if purchased, would actually be used, a server device provides a color
reproducing correction process for original image data obtained by shooting the
desired product. Specifically, component data corresponding to a color of the light
source at shooting and that corresponding to a color of the light source of the
desired type are used to correct original image data to attain image data obtained
when the product is shot under the desired light source type. The data obtained
by the correction is transmitted to a consumer terminal and displayed on a screen.
The consumer confirms the displayed image, and if satisfied with e.g. how the product
would present color, the process moves on to an on-line transaction process for
product purchasing.
