A Gamut Enhance Module (GME) is disclosed for applying 3 independent Tone Reproduction Curves (TRC) to each of the color components of an input image. The implementation is done via three independent and fully programmable 1D lookup tables. The input to the Gamut Enhance Module is the output DSS from a Scaling Module (SCL), representing a scaled and de-screened version of the source image. The output is a gamut-mapped signal GME. The GME unit includes special logic to neutralize (set to gray) or preserve input colors.
