Abstract
An image processing apparatus processes image data to be used in a printing apparatus configured to perform forward and backward scan printing by using a print head in which nozzle arrays corresponding to multiple colors are aligned. The image processing apparatus includes: a setting unit configured to set a first control parameter in a case where image data to be processed does not include a line portion and to set a second control parameter in a case where the image data to be processed includes a line portion, the second parameter being different from the first control parameter; and a processing unit configured to perform, for the image data to be processed, processing to suppress a difference between a color printed in a forward scan and a color printed in a backward scan based on the control parameter set by the setting unit.
