Color image processing apparatus and recording medium

Abstract

An object is to provide a print proof that takes account of halftone dots and operating conditions of a printing press. To achieve the object, a color image processing apparatus for producing the print proof comprises: a dot gain processing unit for receiving an input of halftoned binary image data, and for converting the binary image data to multi-value image data corresponding to the amount of dot gain of each color; a first color-converting unit for converting the multi-value image data to image data in a device-independent color space; a resolution converting unit for changing the resolution of the multi-value image in the device-independent color space to match the resolution of an output device; and a second color-converting unit for converting the multi-value image data, converted into the device-independent color space, to image data in a color space associated with the output device.
