Image forming apparatus with density correction and edge smoothing, method, and storage medium storing program to perform the method

Abstract

To make it possible for image processing to control the thickness of a character or a line to be applied similarly as long as input image data is the same even in the case where the setting of color conversion processing or density correction processing is changed. An apparatus that forms an image on a printing medium by using a color material, the apparatus including: a first image processing unit configured to perform first image processing to change a density of the color material for an input image; a second image processing unit configured to perform second image processing to control a thickness of a text object or a line object included in the input image; and a setting unit configured to acquire a setting of information representing characteristics of the first image processing and to set a parameter in the second image processing in accordance with the acquired setting, and the second image processing unit controls the thickness of the text object or the line object in accordance with the set parameter.
