Color transfer between colorful images has important applications in the area of image processing and digital edutainment.In this paper

the essence of color transfer is investigated based on Reinhard's method

a new method for color transfer with multi-parameters is proposed by combining the scaling and mean values.Various choice of scaling values is presented and the mean value of the reference image is changed into a value as a linear combination of mean values of reference image and source images.By the proposed method

various different colorful images with different visual results can be obtained from given images

which provide more choices for users.Then the proposed method is extended to color analogy between multiple colorful images.Several examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
