Abstract
An image processing apparatus reads an original to which a restriction item such as copy restriction is embed to input image data. The image processing apparatus restricts an image processing on the input image data which involves a loss of the embedded information on the restriction item to maintain a state where the restriction item is embedded for the output. Alternatively, the image processing apparatus outputs the image data of a format where the restriction information is added to the input electric data.
