Display processing apparatus, image forming system, and computer-readable storage medium

An image forming system comprising:

• a printing unit configured to form an image on a recording medium based on document data;
• and
• a display processing apparatus configured to display a synthetic image indicating a preview image obtained by estimating a result of printing performed by the printing unit on a display unit, wherein
• the display processing apparatus includes
• a surface effect display data generating unit configured to, based on first surface effect display data and surface effect color information, generate second surface effect display data, the first surface effect display data being generated based on control plane image data that specifies a surface effect area on a recording medium to which a surface effect is to be applied and being used for displaying the surface effect on a display unit, and the surface effect color information indicating a display color used when the first surface effect display date is displayed on the display unit;
• a clear plane image display data generating unit configured to, based on first clear plane image display data and transparent image color information, generate second clear plane image display data, the first clear plane image display data being generated based on clear plane image data that specifies a transparent image formed on the recording medium and being used for displaying the transparent image on the display unit;
• and
• a display control unit configured to make a control that displays the second surface effect display data and the second clear plane image display data on the display unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium with an executable program stored thereon, wherein the program instructs a processor to perform:

• based on first surface effect display data and surface effect color information, generating second surface effect display data, the first surface effect display data being generated based on control plane image data that specifies a surface effect area on a recording medium to which a surface effect is to be applied and being used for displaying the surface effect on a display unit, and the surface effect color information indicating a display color used when the first surface effect display date is displayed on the display unit;
• based on first clear plane image display data and transparent image color information, generating second clear plane image display data, the first clear plane image display data being generated based on clear plane image data that specifies a transparent image formed on the recording medium and being used for displaying the transparent image on the display unit;
• and
• displaying the second surface effect display data and the second clear plane image display data on a display unit.
