Abstract
The present invention aims to effectively control and administrate color profile data used by many and unspecified users in case of unitarily controlling and administrating processes such as updating of color profile data, deleting of the color profile data, and the like. To do so, the present invention is characterized by an image processing method in a color image forming system in which plural clients and a color image forming apparatus are connected through a network, wherein the color image forming apparatus holds at least one or more color profile data, holds client-classified discrimination information for the plural clients that accessed in regard to the color profile data, and judges in case of deleting the color profile data whether or not to delete the color profile data based on the client-classified discrimination information for the plural clients.
