          Application 08/059,060                                                      


          the various viewing environments and for the adaptive effects               
          that each environment would have on the color perceptions of a              
          viewer.                                                                     





                    Representative claim 41 is reproduced as follows:                 
               41.  A method for forming at least one transform for                   
          transforming colorimetrically-specified values to intermediary              
          color-image data encoding values, comprising the steps of:                  
               a) specifying an input-image viewing environment in terms              
          of its illuminant spectral energy distribution, amount of                   
          viewing flare light, surround type, and adaptive white point                
          chromaticities;                                                             
               b)  specifying an encoded-image viewing environment in                 
          terms of its amount of viewing flare light, surround type, and              
          adaptive white point chromaticitiers;                                       
               c) generating colorimetrically-specified test color                    
          values which adequately sample and cover the useful                         
          colorimetric value range;                                                   
               d)  adjusting said colorimetric values in accordance with              
          the difference in the amount of viewing flare light specified               
          for the input-image viewing environment and the encoded-image               
          viewing environment to form flare-adjusted colorimetric                     
          values;                                                                     
               e) adjusting said flare-adjusted colorimetric values in                
          accordance with the difference in the surround types specified              
          for the input-image viewing environment and the encoded-image               
          viewing environment to form surround-adjusted colorimetric                  
                                          3
