An image processing apparatus includes an area setting unit, an image deformation unit, and a face deformation unit. The area setting unit sets, in a target image that includes a face image, an area including the face image as a compression area. The image deformation unit compresses the compression area in a specific direction at a predetermined compression rate. The face deformation unit deforms the face image by expansion amount determined on the basis of the compression rate in such a manner that at least a part of the face image is expanded in the specific direction.

A printer performs calibration in which a reference primary color ink is mixed with at least one additional primary color ink to approximate a predetermined target primary color. The printer includes an acquisition section, a predicting section, an optimizing section and a printing unit. The acquisition section acquires spectral reflectances of the reference primary color ink printed on a base, the additional primary color ink printed on the base, and the base. The predicting section calculates predicted spectral reflectance of a mixture of the primary color inks by dividing a product of the spectral reflectances of the primary color inks by the spectral reflectance of the base raised to the power obtained by subtracting 1 from a total number of the inks. The optimizing section optimizes an ink-amount set of the mixture so that the predicted spectral reflectance is approximated to spectral reflectance of the target primary color.
