Abstract
In printing, it is possible to more easily reduce a change in color that is caused by the surface form of an image to be formed. A color correction unit configured to correct color data representing a color by using a correction value in accordance with gloss data representing gloss, a color conversion unit configured to convert the corrected color data into color material amount data, a first generation unit configured to generate, based on the color material amount data, data that is used to form a color development layer among the print data and which makes the color development layer flat and smooth, and a second generation unit configured to generate, based on the gloss data, data that is used to form a glossy layer among the print data are included.
Claims11
An image processing apparatus that generates print data for a printing apparatus to form printed matter including a color development layer to reproduce a color and a glossy layer to reproduce gloss, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a color correction unit configured to correct color data representing the color by using a correction value in accordance with gloss data representing the gloss;
- a color conversion unit configured to convert the corrected color data into color material amount data;
- a first generation unit configured to generate, based on the color material amount data, data that is used to form the color development layer among the print data and which makes the color development layer flat and smooth;
- and
- a second generation unit configured to generate, based on the gloss data, data that is used to form the glossy layer among the print data.
An image processing apparatus that generates print data for a printing apparatus to form printed matter including a color development layer to reproduce a color, a glossy layer to reproduce gloss, and a form layer to reproduce a form, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a color correction unit configured to correct color data representing the color by using a correction value in accordance with gloss data representing the gloss;
- a color conversion unit configured to convert the corrected color data into color material amount data;
- a first generation unit configured to generate, based on the color material amount data, data that is used to form the color development layer among the print data and which makes the color development layer flat and smooth;
- a second generation unit configured to generate, based on the gloss data, data that is used to form the glossy layer among the print data;
- and
- a third generation unit configured to generate, based on form data representing the form, data that is used to form the form layer among the print data.
An image processing method of generating print data for a printing apparatus to form printed matter including a color development layer to reproduce a color and a glossy layer to reproduce gloss, the image processing method comprising the steps of:
- correcting color data representing the color by using a correction value in accordance with gloss data representing the gloss;
- converting the corrected color data into color material amount data;
- generating, based on the color material amount data, data that is used to form the color development layer among the print data and which makes the color development layer flat and smooth;
- and
- generating, based on the gloss data, data that is used to form the glossy layer among the print data.
An image processing method of generating print data for a printing apparatus to form printed matter including a color development layer to reproduce a color, a glossy layer to reproduce gloss, and a form layer to reproduce a form, the image processing method comprising the steps of:
- correcting color data representing the color by using a correction value in accordance with gloss data representing the gloss;
- converting the corrected color data into color material amount data;
- generating, based on the color material amount data, data that is used to form the color development layer among the print data and which makes the color development layer flat and smooth;
- generating, based on the gloss data, data that is used to form the glossy layer among the print data;
- and
- generating, based on form data representing the form, data that is used to form the form layer among the print data.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform an image processing method of generating print data for a printing apparatus to form printed matter including a color development layer to reproduce a color and a glossy layer to reproduce gloss, the method comprising the steps of:
- correcting color data representing the color by using a correction value in accordance with gloss data representing the gloss;
- converting the corrected color data into color material amount data;
- generating, based on the color material amount data, data that is used to form the color development layer among the print data and which makes the color development layer flat and smooth;
- and
- generating, based on the gloss data, data that is used to form the glossy layer among the print data.
