Abstract
A hard copy is produced by steps of recording an image on a recording medium according to an image signal which represents an image density of the image to be recorded; applying a surface roughness control to an image area on the recording medium on which the image is recorded; and correcting, before recording the image on the recording medium, the image signal used for the recording so that a viewed image density provided after the surface roughness control equals the image density of the image to be recorded, using information on a density difference between an image density before the surface roughness control and an viewed image density after the surface roughness control.
