An image processing method is provided. The image processing method includes: generating profiles for color reproduction, classified for each of recording papers, from at least one of particular characteristic data of the each recording paper, which is generated on the basis of factors that affect color reproduction and particular generation information of the each recording paper, which is obtained by printing plural patch patterns at the recording paper and performing colorimetry of the printed patch patterns; and when implementing basic extraction control for extracting a profile that matches in at least one of the characteristic data and the generation information, if no profile that matches in at least one of the characteristic data and the generation information is extracted, extracting a profile that approximates in accordance with a pre-specified order of priority determination procedure to be a candidate.

Image processing method and image forming device for generating profiles for color reproduction

When the size output for an image is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value (e.g., index printing), a printing apparatus performs an image expansion/reduction process by using an interpolation method whereby high speed processing is enabled while an inferior image quality is provided, or when the output size is greater than a predetermined value (e.g., the normal printing of a single sheet), employs an interpolation method for a high quality image to perform the expansion/reduction. Further, when the output image size is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value, the printing apparatusskips the noise reduction process and the sharpening process to increase the processing speed.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method and program therefor

An image output control apparatus is capable of outputting normal images and stereo images from an output unit to a display device or a printer so that the normal images and the stereo images may be distinguishable. The image output control apparatus includes an image type determining unit that determines whether an image to be output is a stereo image or a normal image, the stereo image being composed of a pair of a left-eye image and a right-eye image, and an output form control unit that controls an image output form to distinguish a first image output form from a second image output form, the first image output form being used for outputting the stereo image, and the second image output form being used for outputting the normal image, according to the determination of the image type determining unit.
