Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image processing unit configured to perform image processing corresponding to an image forming mode on image data; a controller configured to control the image processing unit to perform the image processing corresponding to the image forming mode on measurement image data, control an image forming unit to form the measurement image based on the measurement image data, to control a measurement unit to measure the measurement image, and to control an image forming condition based on a measurement result. In a case where the measurement image is formed while the image forming apparatus consecutively forms a plurality of images in the second image forming mode, the controller controls the image forming unit to form the measurement image without performing the image processing corresponding to the second image forming mode.
