Abstract
An image processing apparatus determines a position separated by a predetermined distance from an edge of an object included in image data. The position is outer side of the object. The apparatus deforms a shape of the object based on the determined position so that the determined position becomes a new edge of the object. And the apparatus performs predetermined image processing for edge, based on the determined position, on the new edge of the object after the deformation is performed.
