An image processing apparatus comprises an image processing unit configured to generate an image to be saved, and a control unit configured to control the image processing unit in response to an instruction for generating a second image from a first image and saving the second image. When the second image is saved in response to the instruction, the image processing unit adds protection information to the second image and save the second image, the protection information being recorded in the first image for protecting at least a part of the image.

Image processing apparatus and control method

An information processing method comprises: transmitting first image data to an external image processing apparatus and receiving second image data processed by the external image processing apparatus; extracting a feature amount according to a content of image processing performed by the external image processing apparatus from the first image data; and converting the extracted feature amount to displayable information and displaying the information on a display.

Information processing apparatus and method

An image processing apparatus includes an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on input data, a storage unit configured to store image-processed data obtained by the image processing performed by the image processing unit, an output unit configured to output the image-processed data to a printing unit, an update unit configured to update firmware related to the image processing unit, and a control unit configured to, when the image processing by the image processing unit is changed by the updating of the firmware by the update unit, cause the image processing unit to perform the image processing on input data corresponding to the image-processed data stored in the storage unit and cause the storage unit to store image-processed data obtained by the image processing.
