Adjustment object color space containing movement source partial color
space including a color of an object of conversion processing and
movement destination partial color space including a color in which the
conversion processing is performed so as to inscribe the spaces is
handled as a conversion object region. The inside of the conversion
object region is moved toward a target color so that coordinates of an
adjustment object overlaps with coordinates of a point after movement and
the boundary of a movement region moves little or does not move at all.
As a result of this, a phenomenon such as a color jump or gradation
inversion occurs little in the boundary portion to the outside of an
adjustment object region. Therefore, maintenance of gradation continuity
of an image of a color adjustment object and prevention of color
inversion can be combined to make partial color adjustment.
