Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an image acquisition unit that acquires an initial image to be output by an image output apparatus; an image determining unit that determines, based on an output condition to be implemented by the image output apparatus upon outputting the initial image and image data of the initial image, whether to change the initial image to a substitute image having a higher image quality than the initial image; an image searching unit that searches for the substitute image in a case where a determination is made by the image determining unit to change the initial image to the substitute image; an output data generating unit that generates output data including image data of the substitute image found by the image searching unit; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the output data to the image output apparatus.
