1. A method of color space mapping, comprising the steps of: a) storing a plurality of predetermined mapping techniques for converting an input image in a first color space into a second color space of a desired output device; b) generating at least a part of an output image in said second color space using each of said predetermined mapping techniques; c) comparing said output image generated in said step b) with said input image with respect to each of said predetermined mapping techniques; d) determining characteristic values based upon an evaluation of said comparison in said step c) with respect to each of said predetermined mapping techniques; and e) selecting one of said predetermined mapping techniques best suited for said input image using said output device based upon said characteristic values in said step d).
