Abstract
An output density range is divided such that, after gradation targets have been applied, adjusted density ranges for output are uniform across all objects. Furthermore, through reverse calculation using the gradation targets that are set in one-to-one correspondence with the objects, adjusted density ranges of the respective objects are set independently.
