Abstract
An image processing apparatus that converts image data of a first resolution into image data of a second resolution lower than the first resolution. The image processing apparatus determines a small dot that is included in the image data of the first resolution and matches a first small dot pattern and performs conversion from the first resolution to the second resolution by switching a method of generating resolution-converted image data based on a result of the determination.
