A control unit in an image processing apparatus performs control as follows. The storage unit stores image data in a first format and image data in a second format for a particular application, into which the image data in the first format is converted by the converting unit, at image input. When the image data is to be used by a first application which is same as the particular application in a first apparatus of the same model as the image processing apparatus, a communication unit transfers the stored image data in the second format to the first apparatus. When the image data is to be used by a second application different from the particular application, the communication unit transfers image data in a format for the second application, into which the converting unit converts the stored image data in the first format, to the first apparatus.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
An image processing method to be performed by an image processing apparatus that includes a plurality of applications each executing an image processing, the image processing method being performed on image data stored in a first format that is model-independent and application-independent and image data stored in a second format that is model-dependent and application-dependent of image data input side, the image data in the first format being converted into the image data in the second format, the image processing apparatus communicating the stored image data with one or more external apparatus via a network, the image processing method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer readable program codes recorded thereon, the program codes configured to perform an image processing method when executed by a processor of an image processing apparatus, the image processing method being performed on image data stored in a first format that is model-independent and application-independent and image data stored in a second format that is model-dependent and application-dependent of image data input side, the image data in the first format being converted into the image data in the second format, the image processing apparatus communicating the stored image data with one or more external apparatus via a network, the image processing method comprising:
