Based on the former development work of efficient manual colour image manipulation tools, a fully automatic algorithm for correction of monitor images was developed. The software automatically corrects the colour balance, tone rendering and skin colours of a 24-bit monitor RGB image. The algorithm is based on colour gamut analysis and simple pattern recognition. Visual tests showed that automatic correction is capable of significantly improving colour rendering.
