Abstract
An information processing system is provided. A first generation unit generates a reduced image in which an original image is reduced. A display control unit causes a display unit of a predetermined apparatus to display the reduced image. A second generation unit generates, based on an input to the predetermined apparatus of a user, a mask image to be overlapped on the reduced image displayed on the display unit. An enlargement unit enlarges the mask image by using a different interpolation method in a case where the mask image has a predetermined property and in a case where the mask image does not have the predetermined property.
Claims13
An information processing system comprising:
- (a) at least one processor and (b) at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and having instructions stored therein, the at least one processor and the at least one memory cooperating, when the instructions are executed by the at least one processor, to act as a plurality of units comprising:
- (1) a first generation unit configured to generate a reduced image in which an original image is reduced;
- (2) a display control unit configured to cause a display device of a predetermined apparatus to display the reduced image;
- (3) a second generation unit configured to generate, based on an input to the predetermined apparatus of a user, a mask image to be overlapped on the reduced image displayed on the display device;
- and
- (4) an enlargement unit configured to enlarge the mask image by using (a) a first interpolation method in a case where a color to be expressed by a spot color ink is used in the mask image and (b) a second interpolation, different from the first interpolation method, in a case where the color to be expressed by the spot color ink is not used in the mask image.
A server comprising:
- at least one memory and at least one processor which function as a plurality of units comprising:
- (1) an acquiring unit configured to acquire an original image, a reduced image in which the original image has been reduced, and a mask image of a size corresponding to the reduced image;
- and
- (2) an enlargement unit configured to enlarge the mask image by using (a) a first interpolation method in a case where a color to be expressed by a spot color ink is used in the mask image and (b) a second interpolation method, different from the first interpolation method, in a case where the color to be expressed by the spot color ink is not used in the mask image.
An information processing method comprising:
- generating a reduced image in which an original image is reduced;
- causing a display device of a predetermined apparatus to display the reduced image;
- generating, based on an input to the predetermined apparatus of a user, a mask image to be overlapped on the reduced image displayed on the display device;
- and
- enlarging the mask image by using (a) a first interpolation method in a case where a color to be expressed by a spot color ink is used in the mask image and (b) a second interpolation method, different from the first interpolation method, in a case where the color to be expressed by a spot color ink is not used in the mask image.
