Abstract
The present invention provides an image processing apparatus including a specification unit specifying a region where printing is performed by using a transparent recording material in image data-for-outputting, a comparison unit comparing a first reflectivity obtained when printing is performed for the specified region by using the transparent recording material with a second reflectivity obtained when printing is performed for the specified region without using the transparent recording material, a determination unit that determines the use of a first display form when the comparison indicates that the first reflectivity is higher than the second reflectivity and that determines the use of a second display form when the comparison indicates that the first reflectivity is lower than the second reflectivity, and a display unit displaying the specified region by using a display form determined through the determination unit.
