An image processing apparatus includes a setting unit configured to set a target region, a first acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of texture data for applying a metal representation on an image, a second acquisition unit configured to acquire an output condition when outputting the target region, a selection unit configured to select texture data based on the output condition, and an application unit configured to apply, to the target region, the texture data selected by the selection unit.

The disclosure discloses methods and systems for handling drifting of colors in printing. The method includes receiving a document including the image for printing, the image includes one or more gray and non-gray portions. An input from a user to selectively adjust the color of the gray portions of the image is received. The gray portions of the image are identified. Then, color values associated with the identified gray portions of the image are determined. Based on the user input, the determined color values associated with the gray portions of the image are selectively adjusted, without affecting non-gray color portions of the image to generate an updated image. The updated image is printed and the printed image includes adjusted color for the gray portions of the image such that gray color in the printed image is consistent with gray color of the image in the document.

The image processing apparatus includes: a color conversion unit configured to convert an input color space of the document image data into a device-dependent color space specified by the plurality of color materials; and an output unit configured to output the document image data converted into the device-dependent color space, and the color conversion unit performs, in a case where the document image data includes a first kind of object and a second kind of object different from the first kind, the conversion by selectively applying a first color conversion method of converting data corresponding to the first kind of object into data represented in a first color space and a second color conversion method of converting data corresponding to the second kind of object into data represented in a second color space different from the first color space within one print job.

There are provided a printer, a digital camera with a printer, and a printing method which are capable of simply printing an image having photographic composition intended by a user. A frame layout is displayed on a monitor. Based on an operation of an operation unit, images stored in an internal memory are displayed in frames, and images to be arranged in the frames are selected. In this case, portions of the images corresponding to the frames are cut out, and the images are displayed in the frames. Based on an operation of the operation unit, the images to be arranged in the frames are adjusted by zooming and/or moving the images to be arranged in the frames within the frames. After setting of images for all the frames is completed, an image displayed on the monitor is printed according to a print instruction.

A print mode determination method is disclosed. The method comprises receiving image data defining parameters of pixels of an image to be printed using a print apparatus; identifying, based on the image data, a first fill area in the image that exceeds a defined threshold area, wherein the first fill area is to be printed in a first color; determining, based on the image data, a first proportion of print agent of each of a plurality of colors to be used to print the first color; and determining, based on the determined first proportions of print agent, a print mode to be used by the print apparatus to print the image. An apparatus and a machine-readable medium are also disclosed.

An image processing apparatus includes a setting unit configured to set a target region, a first acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of texture data for applying a metal representation on an image, a second acquisition unit configured to acquire an output condition when outputting the target region, a selection unit configured to select texture data based on the output condition, and an application unit configured to apply, to the target region, the texture data selected by the selection unit.

A recommended value output unit is provided in a print control device included in an inkjet printing apparatus, the recommended value output unit including: a recommended candidate value search model that is constructed on the basis of print result logs transmitted from a large number of inkjet printing apparatuses by a management server, and obtains a plurality of recommended candidate values for a print parameter on the basis of an input printing condition; and a recommended candidate value evaluation unit that selects output targets as a plurality of recommended values from the plurality of recommended candidate values by evaluating each of the plurality of recommended candidate values.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion, an adjustment processing portion, and a limitation processing portion. The image forming portion forms an image using toner. During execution of an image forming process using the image forming portion, the adjustment processing portion uses the toner to adjust image quality of an output image output by the image forming process. When an amount of adjustment of the image quality of the output image by the adjustment processing portion exceeds a predetermined limit value, the limitation processing portion limits the amount of adjustment of the image quality of the output image by the adjustment processing portion to the limit value.

An inspection level setting system includes a processor configured to display an inspection result of inspecting whether an output material output from an output apparatus is a good product in an inspection device in which an inspection level serving as a reference for determining whether the output material is the good product is set, receive, from a user, an input of a determination result as to whether the output material inspected by the inspection device is the good product, and change, in a case where the inspection result by the inspection device does not match the determination result of the user, the inspection level set in the inspection device to be brought close to a determination criterion of the user.
