1. A profile generation device for generating a profile for an output device, the profile generation device comprising: an extraction section for obtaining image data including information on pixel locations each of which correlates with a color value, and extracting among the pixel locations, a location as an extraction point, the location being correlated with a predetermined color value to be used for generating the profile; a colorimetric section for performing a color measurement on an output image, which is an output result of the image data from the output device, and detecting a location in the output image and a colorimetric value of the detected location; a data generation section for generating data to be used for generating the profile based on a pair of the color value correlated with the extraction point extracted by the extraction section and the colorimetric value correlated with the detected location in the output image, wherein the detected location corresponds to the extraction point; and a profile generation section for generating the profile by using the data generated by the data generation section.
