Abstract
An inspection apparatus that performs quality inspection on a printed matter printed by a printer using a reference image and a scanned image of the printed matter. When inspecting the quality of the printed matter, selection is performed as to which to use as the reference image, a pre-printed image for use in printing the printed matter, or the scanned image. In a case where a difference is detected as a result of comparison between the pre-printed image and the scanned image, a reference image selection screen including the pre-printed image and the scanned image is displayed. A user input is received concerning whether or not the detected difference is a defect. The reference image is selected based on the received user input.
