EUGEN DARVASI, LADISLAU KÉKEDY-NAGY<br />

PROCEDURE<br />

First the white, the black and the color values of the digital image was<br />

corrected by using the ColorPilot 4. 80. 01v software package (Two Pilots,<br />

USA, Germany, Russia). The corrected image was then processed with the<br />

ImageJ 1. 37v software program (Wayne Rasband, National Institute of Health,<br />

USA), the RGB parameters of the selected area were <strong>de</strong>termined. Then the<br />

tristimulus values of XYZ and the CIELa*b* chromatic coordinates and of C, h*<br />

color attributes have been calculated.<br />
