Abstract
An image processing method matches the gradations of a first output unit and a second output unit which have different gradation-reproduction ranges. The image processing method sets first-output-unit information on the first output unit, sets output-medium information for use in the second output unit, and finds an output-gradation reproduction curve from the first-output-unit information and the output-medium information.
