A guidance control device is configured to control a projection device for projecting images. The guidance control device is configured to generate a subject-identifying image to be projected on a first projection range relating to a first position at which a subject person conducts a predetermined operation and to generate a guide image guiding the predetermined operation for the subject person to be projected on a second projection range relating to a second position viewable by the subject person. Accordingly, the guidance control device is able to control the projection device including the subject-identifying image and the guide image.

The present invention relates to a color separation condition determination device, method and storage medium. A pixel of interest is extracted from multiple pixels, and the influence of visual effect applied to the pixel of interest is estimated on the basis of the positional relationship between the color of the pixel of interest and each color of at least one surrounding pixel. Also, the total usage of color materials in the pixel of interest is estimated. The color separation condition in the pixel of interest is determined on the basis of the respectively estimated influence of visual effect and total usage of color materials.

Which types of subject among a predetermined plurality of types of subject are contained in an image represented by input image data are detected. Features regarding the detected subject types are calculated in a feature calculating circuit based upon the image data. In accordance with the features calculated, the gain for every subject type is calculated. The gains are weighted and averaged using degrees of importance that have been input for every subject type. The input image data is corrected based upon applicable gains obtained by the weighted averaging.

An image-forming method of recording an image of plural pixels by a recording means using an image-forming material not completely permeating into a recording medium and capable of forming an image with a thickness is provided. An image-forming material which is scarcely absorbed by a recording medium and which can be cured with keeping a certain thickness after formation of an image is used, and the existing thickness calculated in the step of existing thickness-calculating step is brought close to the intended thickness set in the intended thickness-setting step by the step of determining an application amount for each color. In the case of increasing a color (e.g., black) less influencing the color balance, the thickness is reduced and, in the case of decreasing a color (e.g., black) less influencing the color balance, the thickness is increased.
