Abstract
An image composed of a group of objects contained in a print job is formed on a recording medium with a plurality of color recording materials. Formats of an object are decided by analyzing the object. A size of the object is decided. Trapping processing applied to the object is controlled in accordance with decision results about the formats and the sizes of the object. This makes it possible to provide a color image forming apparatus capable of carrying out appropriate trapping automatically.
