Abstract
In order to suppress undesired influence of interpolation at the time of color-converting image data, a link file generating program makes a computer execute the steps of coupling a monitor profile and a printer profile to generate a link file linking display-dependent colors (RGB data) to printer-dependent colors (CMYK data), and correcting the link file to adapt a printer-dependent color related to a prescribed one of the display-dependent colors to said prescribed one. Using a display-dependent color as a reference, a printer-dependent color related to the reference color is corrected. Accordingly, a link file can be generated that suppresses the undesired influence of interpolation at the time of color-converting the image data.
