Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus for modulating a concentration of input image data, comprising: an inputting device to input image data; a RAM to store first image data input by the inputting device; a processing unit to execute a modulating process to at least one area such as a non-rectangular area in second image data input by the inputting device by using the first image data stored in the RAM; and a detector to detect a predetermined color of the second image data. The area is specified by the color detected by the detector. The inputting device includes a CCD for reading an original and generating RGB color component signals. With this apparatus, a texture process is executed to at least one non-rectangular area and the result can be output in a real-time manner.
