Color-balancing image-processing technique using reference points — imaging/production pipeline tool.

Abstract

Embodiments provide techniques for adjusting coloration of an image. A first selection of first one or more reference points within a first image is received. A second selection of a second one or more reference points within a second image is also received. Embodiments determinea coloration difference between a coloration of the first one or more reference points within the first image and a coloration of the second one or more reference points within the second image. The coloration of at least a portion of the first image is then adjusted, based on the determined coloration difference.

Claims

1. A method of adjusting coloration, comprising: receiving a first selection of first one or more reference points within a first image; receiving a second selection of a second one or more reference points within a second image; determining a coloration difference between a coloration of the first one or more reference points within the first image and a coloration of the second one or more reference points within the second image; and adjusting, by operation of one or more computer processors, the coloration of at least a portion of the first image, based on the determined coloration difference. 7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer program code that, when executed by operation of one or more computer processors, performs an operation for adjusting coloration, the operation comprising: receiving a first selection of first one or more reference points within a first image; receiving a secondselection of a second one or more reference points within a second image; determining a coloration difference between a coloration of the first one or more reference points withinthe first image and a coloration of the second one or more reference points within the second image; and adjusting, by operation of one or more computer processors, the colorationof at least a portion of the first image, based on the determined coloration difference. 13. A system, comprising: one or more computer processors; and a memory containing computer program code that, when executed by operation of the one or more computer processors, performs an operation for adjusting coloration, the operation comprising: receiving a first selection of first one or more reference points within a first image; receiving a second selection of a second one or more reference points within a second image; determining a coloration difference between a coloration of the first one or more reference points within the first image and a coloration of the second one or more reference points within the second image; and adjusting, by operation of one or more computer processors, the coloration of at least a portion of the first image, based on the determined coloration difference.
