(57) Abstract :
The continuity of at least one image characteristic, such as color, is maintained through image creation, processing and distribution by
correlating that characteristic to a frame of reference. During a first processing operation such as image capture, an initial image
decision list is generated indicative of at least a one change in at least one characteristic of an image adjusted during that operation. At
the completion of that operation, the image is transformed to emulate a film print that serves as the reference for subsequent
operations. In this way, the initial image decision list can be modified to further adjust the at least one characteristic of the image using
the emulated film print during a second image processing operation
