Abstract

A client/server system for reading, measuring and displaying color density of documents located on a remote file system accessed over a WAN such as the Internet. The color density information displayed corresponds to specific coordinates of documents that are located on the remote image file servers. The invention provides means for reading, displaying and recording color density measurements of original digital images located on remote image file servers rather than representations of these digital images stored on the user's local computer or LAN. A web server application on the server side functions to capture measurement requests from one or more client applications for measuring, sending, recording and retrieving color density measurements related to specific positions of specific documents located on an image filer server. On the client side a client software application functions to display the document that the user wishes to read color density information from and provides the tools necessary to permit the user to measure, send, record and retrieve color density measurements. Additional information regarding spot colors and position in a digital color book can also be displayed as requested by the user. Further, the user can record the results of the color density measurement by pressing an annotation button in the color densitometer window. In response, a note containing the color values is created and placed over the document.
