Abstract
An image forming method, which includes pre-scanning a page to be scanned, displaying candidate colors that correspond to a preset condition through analysis of color components of the pre-scanned image, selecting a dropout color among the displayed candidate colors, and eliminating the selected dropout color from a main-scanned image if main scan of the page to be scanned is performed.
Claims20
An image forming method, comprising:
- pre-scanning, by a processor, a page to be scanned;
- analyzing color components of the pre-scanned image with respect to a preset condition to determine candidate colors corresponding the preset condition from among the color components;
- displaying the determined candidate colors;
- receiving a user input to select a dropout color, among the displayed candidate colors;
- and
- eliminating the selected dropout color from a main-scanned image if main scan of the page to be scanned is performed.

An image forming method, comprising:
- pre-scanning, by a processor, a page to be scanned;
- displaying candidate colors that correspond to a preset condition, from among color components of the pre-scanned image, through analysis of the color components of the pre-scanned image;
- selecting a dropout color, among the displayed candidate colors;
- and
- eliminating the selected dropout color from a main-scanned image if main scan of the page to be scanned is performed,
- wherein the preset condition is a condition that is set to determine the color components of lines of a form that constitutes the pre-scanned image as the candidate colors.
