Abstract

In today’s virtual environment transfer of data within the system is a necessary and standard operation. Computer clipboard is one of the common data transfer methods. This paper tests the changes in image data during the transfer from one program to another. Computer programs and systems use different standards, which causes changes in colour values due to different image standards used by programs and systems. Each transfer between programs causes adaptation of image data to new program standards. That shift is visible on images from inside the system. The difference grows even more on the printed sample. Calibration strip and photographs were used as research elements. Calibration strip was generated in Monaco Profiler. The analysis was performed on measured numerical values, and it showed significant colour changes in samples. The visual research was made on printed photo samples and has shown that the visibility of colour changes more or less depends on the motif type.
