          Appeal No. 96-3087                                                          
          Application 08/059,060                                                      


          correcting an input image in accordance with the input viewing              







          environment and the output viewing environment. Rather,                     
          Carlucci performs the correction of an input image using a                  
          convential calibration procedure whereby the input image is                 
          calibrated within itself using a predetermined calibrating                  
          scheme, not in accordance with the variable chromatic                       
          difference between the input environment and the output                     
          viewing environment. The addition  of Rolleston's teaching3                                          
          does not cure this deficiency.                                              
          Thus the collective teachings of Carlucci and Rolleston                     
          do not support the rejection of claim 41 proposed by the                    
          examiner. The rejection of claim 41 is reversed.                            
               The other independent claims, claims 24, 30, 37, 43, 45                
          and 46, all contain the features discussed above in regard to               
          claim 41. Therefore, the rejections of these claims under 35                

               3The appellants argue the propriety of combining Carlucci and Rolleston as a
          side issue. However, we are of the view that this issue is moot to our decision.
                                         10
