1. A method performed by a processing system, the method comprising:
acquiring a first digital image in a first color space;
transforming the first color space into a second color space in which a printer is able to print, so as to produce a second digital image from the first digital image;
binning a range of color values included in the second digital image by
dividing the second color space into a series of bins that correspond to a series of color values, the series of color values including all color values across the second color space, and
establishing a count for each bin of the series of bins by counting occurrences of each color value of the series of color values in the second digital image; and
causing, based on the counts established for the series of bins, display of a visual representation that includes a three-dimensional (3D) histogram that visually represents the range of color values across the second digital image and allows for identification of color limitations of the printer.
