Abstract
In an image formation system, when a halftone region is contained in a raster image data stored in an image memory, the halftone image region is set as a transparent region and the outline correction of the transparent region is made invalid. The image formation system comprises a region set circuit for setting the transparent region in the raster image data, a read-position specifying circuit for specifying a read position of the raster image data that is read out of the image memory, a decision circuit for deciding whether the read position is in the transparent region or not, and a controller for performing an outline-correction control such that the outline correction is performed when the read position of the raster image data is decided not to be in the transparent region, and is not performed when the read position is decided to be in the transparent region.
