Abstract

A method of generating image data by acquiring first image data having a tone value of each pixel for each color and generating second image data. Generating the second image data by selecting a first pixel of the first image data; binarizing the tone value of the first pixel in response to a comparison result showing that the tone value of the first pixel is greater than the first threshold, binarizing the tone value of the first pixel in response to a comparison result showing that the tone value of the first pixel is smaller than the second threshold, and binarizing the tone value of the first pixel in response to a comparison result showing that the tone value of the first pixel is equal to or less than the first threshold and is equal to or greater than the second threshold.
