Abstract
A processing condition selecting apparatus, a processing condition selecting method, and a storage medium storing a program therein serve to evaluate the production aptitude of a print under a signal processing condition, based on image forming information with respect to the print and prescribed evaluation criteria, to thereby generate a display image visually representing the production aptitude of the print that has been evaluated.
Claims11
A processing condition selecting apparatus for selecting a single signal processing condition from a plurality of signal processing conditions representing different dot distribution characteristics, and instructing an image forming apparatus, which is capable of producing a print by forming an image on a recording medium, to carry out a halftone process depending on the selected signal processing condition, comprising:
- an image forming information acquirer for acquiring image forming information with respect to the print;
- a production aptitude evaluator for evaluating a production aptitude of the print under the signal processing condition, based on the image forming information acquired by the image forming information acquirer and prescribed evaluation criteria;
- and
- a display image generator for generating a display image visually representing the production aptitude of the print that has been evaluated by the production aptitude evaluator.
A processing condition selecting method for selecting a single signal processing condition from a plurality of signal processing conditions representing different dot distribution characteristics, and for instructing an image forming apparatus, which is capable of producing a print by forming an image on a recording medium, to carry out a halftone process depending on the selected signal processing condition, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring image forming information with respect to the print;
- evaluating a production aptitude of the print under the signal processing condition, based on the acquired image forming information and prescribed evaluation criteria;
- and
- generating a display image visually representing the production aptitude of the print that has been evaluated.
A storage medium storing therein a program for selecting a single signal processing condition from a plurality of signal processing conditions representing different dot distribution characteristics, and for instructing an image forming apparatus, which is capable of producing a print by forming an image on a recording medium, to carry out a halftone process depending on the selected signal processing condition, the program enabling a computer to function as:
- an image forming information acquirer for acquiring image forming information with respect to the print;
- a production aptitude evaluator for evaluating a production aptitude of the print under the signal processing condition, based on the image forming information acquired by the image forming information acquirer and prescribed evaluation criteria;
- and
- a display image generator for generating a display image visually representing the production aptitude of the print that has been evaluated by the production aptitude evaluator.
