Abstract
An overlapping image area is produced on the border between adjacent image areas by processing of image data so as to eliminate a dropout due to registering mismatch. A target image area CR2, specified by an operator, is expanded by a predetermined width d to produce overlapping image areas CR4 and CR5. The color of the overlapping image area CR4 or CR5 is determined based on the color of the target area CR2 and the original color of the overlapping image area CR4 or CR5. For example, the larger value between each color component of the original color of the overlapping image area and that of the color of the target area is selected as the new color component of the overlapping image area.
