Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• a display;
• an image forming unit configured to form a color image using recording materials;
• a selection unit configured to select a sheet cassette via the display;
• a first processing unit configured to execute a first calibration, the first calibration being executed by measurements of a plurality of monochromatic images including at least monochromatic images of a first color and monochromatic images of a second color and generating, using measurement results, monochromatic calibration data, wherein each of the monochromatic images of the first color is formed using only a first color recording material by the image forming unit on a sheet stored in the sheet cassette selected by the selection unit, each of the monochromatic images of the second color is formed using only a second color recording material by the image forming unit on the sheet;
• and
• a second processing unit configured to execute a second calibration following execution of the first calibration, the second calibration being executed by measurements of a plurality color images and generating, using measurement results, multi-color calibration data, wherein each of the plurality of multi-color patch images is formed using a plurality of color recording materials by the image forming unit on a sheet stored in the sheet cassette selected by the selection unit and at least one color image of the plurality of color images is a chromatic color image which is formed using only the first color recording material and the second color recording material.
