Image-processing device, image-forming device, image-processing method, and computer readable medium

An image-processing method comprising:

• obtaining image data;
• extracting an area having a color falling within a predetermined range of a color within a color space, in an image represented by the obtained image data;
• extracting an effect applied to the image represented by the obtained image data;
• if a type of the extracted effect is included in predetermined plurality of types of effect, obtaining effect data representing a type of effect selected from among the predetermined plurality of types of effect, excluding a type of the extracted effect;
• and
• generating image data representing an image in which an effect of the type represented by the obtained effect data is applied to the extracted area.

A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for image-processing, the computer comprising:

• a color storage unit that stores a range of a color within a color space;
• and
• an effect storage unit that stores plurality of types of effect to be applied to an image, the process comprising:
• obtaining image data;
• extracting an area having a color falling within the range of a color stored in the color storage unit, in an image represented by the obtained image data;
• extracting an effect applied to the image represented by the obtained image data;
• if a type of the extracted effect is included in the plurality of types of effect stored in the effect storage unit, obtaining effect data representing a type of effect selected from among the plurality of types of effect stored in the effect storage unit, excluding a type of the extracted effect;
• and
• generating image data representing an image in which an effect of the type represented by the obtained effect data is applied to the extracted area.
