An image processing method is disclosed. The image processing method includes the steps of detecting one or more dots near a step-shaped changing part of dots of which an outline part of a letter or graphics is composed, by using a reference pattern having a window size of “m×n” dots in which a number of dots “m” corresponds to resolution in the main scanning direction and a number of dots “n” corresponds to resolution in the sub scanning direction, converting the detected one or more dots near the step-shaped changing part that is nearly parallel to the main scanning direction into a dot whose size is smaller than that of dots of the step-shaped changing part, and not converting the detected one or more dots whose part is nearly parallel to the sub scanning direction.
An image processing method which forms image data to be output from an image forming apparatus which apparatus forms an image composed of a plurality of dots by using droplets of recording liquid in different resolutions between a first direction and a second direction which second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, comprising the step of:
