Abstract
An image processing device includes a shielding degree calculation section that calculates a shielding degree of a printed layer, and a rendering section. The rendering section is configured to generate at least one of the front surface view, in which the printed object is observed from the front surface side, and the back surface view, in which the printed object is observed from the back surface side, by mapping an image data, which is color converted, to a 3D object and by performing rendering using the shielding degree of the printed layer.
