Abstract

A image processing method includes a shifting step for determining whether to shift an identical color pixel region, in which two to N pixels of an identical color are arranged consecutively in a first direction, in the first direction or a direction opposite to the first direction within the image data, provided that N is an integer of 2 or greater, and shifting the identical color pixel region in the first direction or the direction opposite to the first direction when the shifting is determined to be performed, and an averaging step, in which in the shifting step, the shifting is determined to be performed when the identical color pixel region exists across two of the unit regions, and the identical color pixel region spanning across the two of the unit regions is shifted so as to be included in any one of the unit regions.
