Image processing apparatus and image processing method

An image processing apparatus that generates image data for use in printing an image on a sheet stickable to a skin, comprising:

• an image acquirer that acquires a first skin image obtained by capturing an image of a skin at a first timing and a second skin image obtained by capturing an image of the skin at a second timing later than the first timing;
• an image analyzer that determines a discolored area extracted from the first skin image as a first discolored area and extracts a color of the skin from the second skin image;
• an image determiner that determines a cover area, to be covered with the sheet, in the second skin image based on the first discolored area and determines a color of the cover area based on the color of the skin;
• and
• a print controller that generates image data with a content for printing an image of the determined cover area on the sheet by using a coloring material of the determined color.
