Abstract
This image processing apparatus inputs multi-valued image data, generates first recording data based on the input data, adds together several of the multi-valued image data, generates second recording data based on the added data and selects either the first or the second recording data. The image processing apparatus selects the first recording data in areas corresponding to the several multi-valued image data when preset data are included in those multi-valued image data, and selects the second recording data in areas corresponding to the several multi-valued image data when preset data are not included in those multi-valued image data.
