An image processing apparatus inputs a color signal representing an image and an image quality signal representing a texture of the image. The image quality signal is converted into a physical quantity signal representing a physical quantity. The color material amount for outputting the image is determined based on the color signal and the physical quantity signal. The image quality signal includes a signal representing glossiness value and a signal representing gloss clarity, and the physical quantity representing respective signals are the refractive index and the surface roughness of the image.
