Methods and apparatuses for color correction that includes gamma
correction. One embodiment of the present invention pre-processes the
native device information of a color device (e.g., a color display
device) to generate pseudo-native device information such that when a
single, unique function is applied on the pseudo-native device
information, a customized look up table for gamma correction in a video
card is generated. The customized look up table is calibrated for the
optimization of color rendering for skin tone in one region in a color
space while maintaining the gray colors for the user interface elements
in another region in the color space.
