Abstract
An apparatus configured to generate image data represented in achromatic color from input image data and output the generated image data to a printer includes a controller. The controller is configured to replace color information of an object included in the input image data with an achromatic signal value, determine, based on an achromatic signal value corresponding to color information of a pixel of interest in the input image data, whether the pixel of interest satisfies a predetermined condition, and perform enhancement processing on the color information of the pixel of interest in a case where the pixel of interest is determined not to satisfy the predetermined condition.
Claims14
An image processing apparatus configured to generate image data represented in achromatic color from input image data and output the achromatic image data to a printer, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a controller having one or more processors which execute instructions stored in one or more memories, the controller being configured to:
- acquire color information to be used for an object included in the input image data;
- perform enhancement processing on a pixel of interest in the input image data on the basis that the color information of the pixel of interest does not to satisfy a predetermined condition;
- and
- replace the color information on which the enhancement processing is performed with a signal value corresponding to achromatic color.
A method for controlling an image processing apparatus configured to generate image data represented in achromatic color from input image data and output the achromatic image data to a printer, the method comprising:
- acquiring color information to be used for an object included in the input image data;
- performing enhancement processing on the color information of a pixel of interest in the input image data on the basis that the color information of the pixel of interest does not satisfy a predetermined condition;
- and
- replacing the color information on which the enhancement processing is performed with a signal value corresponding to achromatic color.
