Abstract
According to this invention, an image processing apparatus separates a color original into a plurality of color signal components and sequentially reads the color signal components by read means so as to sequentially form images corresponding to the color signal components on a photosensitive body. In this apparatus, at least two color signal components of a color image to be synthesized with the color original are simultaneously read and are stored in an image memory by the read means, and upon image synthesis, the color signal components are read out from the image memory in synchronism with color signal components read by the read means.
