Abstract
A scanner reads image information at read resolution set by a resolution control section and stores the image information in memory An image separation section separates the image information into a first image plane (picture part), a second image plane (text part color information), and a selection image plane (text part forms) for selecting either the first or second image plane. The resolution control section sets optimum resolutions in first to third resolution conversion sections in response to image quality, the original type, the system environment, the image plane characteristics, etc. The three image planes are converted into the resolutions set in the first to third resolution conversion sections The image planes after undergoing the resolution conversion are compressed in first to third compression sections and wrapped in one data format by an image format section
