An apparatus outputs a first number of printed materials, reads the first number of printed materials output to acquire the first number of pieces of scanned image data, the first number being two or more, and controls a density of output printed materials by calculating variations in lightness values in the respective pieces of scanned image data included in scanned image data groups for each scanned image data group having as a unit a second number of pieces of scanned image data consecutive in order of being read among the first number of pieces of scanned image data, the second number being two or more, so that the printed materials are further output until all the variations in the lightness values are less than a first threshold value.

Provided is an image forming apparatus including: an obtainment unit configured to obtain print data including drawing commands; a first image processing unit configured to perform conversion of color information for drawing an object having a non-image attribute among objects to be drawn by the drawing commands; a command execution unit configured to generate raster image data based on the drawing commands; a storage configured to store the generated raster image data to perform predetermined output; a second image processing unit configured to perform conversion of color information on an object having a picture attribute in the generated raster image data; and a control unit configured to perform the predetermined output in a case where a predetermined condition is met.

Provided is an image processing apparatus that efficiently performs time-divisional image processing tasks related to image formation of an image forming apparatus. A time division determination unit configured to determine and switch which of divided work items to execute based on execution time in a condition where at least one first task to be processed at a specific pace and at least one second task to be processed at best effort are respectively divides into smaller work items. A task execution unit executes the work item switched by the time division determination unit in a time division. This work item uses something as like first band data and second band data.

A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving print job data at a printing system, tracking resource objects in print job data while the print job data is rasterized to generate rasterized print data and updating a count of resource objects for print job data confirmed as printed.

Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a PDL analysis unit that acquires an output resolution of input PDL data when a tile drawing instruction is included in the PDL data, and calculates a drawing size of a tile drawing based on the tile drawing instruction and the output resolution; an average color calculation unit that calculates an average color of the tile drawing based on the tile drawing instruction when the calculated drawing size is smaller than a predetermined value; and a rendering unit that renders the tile drawing instruction based on the calculated average color. The average color calculation unit calculates the average color based on a transparency level of a unit tile included in the tile drawing instruction.
