Abstract

Some embodiments provide a computer program for performing a color matching operation. The computer program identifies first and second images. Each image includes several pixels. Each pixel includes a hue component value. The computer program identifies a set of hue ranges for the first image based on analysis of the hue component values of pixels in the first image. The computer program identifies a set of hue ranges for the second image based on analysis of the hue component values of pixels in the second image. The computer program modifies pixel values of the first image to match pixel values of the second image based on the sets of hue ranges for the first and second images.
