Abstract

This paper describes the results of experiments carried out at the National Gallery in London, comparing original paintings with printed colour reproductions made by processing digital images captured by a high resolution digital camera. A pairwise comparison method was used for three paintings under several different illumination conditions with a panel of observers. The results indicate that the optimum choice of colour gamut mapping procedure depends on the pictorial content of the painting.
