Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a processing unit for processing an image signal into which an original document, after being exposed to light, is photoelectrically converted, a compression module for compressing image information processed through the processing unit, a memory for storing image data compressed by the compression module, a control unit for setting a diversity of image processing modes, and a predicting module for predicting an image compression rate used by the compression module. The predicting module predicts the image compression rate of an image after being processed according to the image processing mode set by the control unit.
