1. A method for identifying an existence and an occurrence of a contour, said method comprising: identifying an occurrence of a contour by taking a second derivative of a color space value associated with an image derived via a color management profile that models a behavior of a multi-function device as a smoothness metric; identifying a location of said contour by matching an input value to a corresponding input value of said image to thereafter determine a probability of said contour being visible in a rendered output thereof by separately analyzing said color space value; and presenting said occurrence and said location of said contour to assist in quickly and clearly indentifying said contour in said image without rendering a physical print thereof and with minimal human interaction and expenditure.
