Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive a second image which forms a specified interference pattern when printed on a sheet on which a first image is printed, and a printing unit configured to print the second image received by the receiving unit on the sheet on which the first image is printed.
Claims3
An apparatus comprising:
- an acquiring unit configured to acquire a first image in which a specified interference pattern is formed when synthesized with a second image, through a pathway different from that of the second image;
- and
- a creating unit configured to create a printed material having the specified interference pattern by synthesizing the first image acquired by the acquiring unit and the second image,
- wherein the second image is acquired by reading a sheet on which the second image is printed, and
- wherein the acquiring unit acquires the first image by receiving the first image from a server.
