Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a first image editing unit, an informing unit, a job supplying unit, and a second image editing unit. The first image editing unit edits a low resolution part of an image in response to a command from another image processing apparatus commanding to conduct an image editing process. The informing unit informs the other image processing apparatus that the image editing process has been completed by the first image editing unit. The job supplying unit supplies a job commanding a high resolution part of the image to be edited. The second image editing unit asynchronously edits the high resolution part of the image at a prescribed time in response to the job supplied from the job supplying unit. The image processing apparatus and the other image processing apparatus may be connected via a network.
