Abstract
An image data processing device processes structured image data including background image data representing a background image, foreground image data representing a foreground image indicating a color and a gross shape, and mask data representing a mask image specifying a prescribed area of the foreground image to be overlaid on the background image. The image data processing device lightens a shade of the background image by applying background color lightening processing to the background data, and lightens a shade of the foreground image less than the shade of the background image by applying foreground color lightening processing to the foreground data.
