Abstract
An image processing apparatus for synthesizing a first image including a transparency-process region and a non-transparency region, and a second image includes a memory to store transparency-process color information for performing a transparency-process, and circuitry to extract the non-transparency region and a part of the transparency-process region adjacent with each other as a process target region, comparing a color value of the non-transparency region and the first color value of the transparency-process region, changing the transparency-process color information from a first color value to a second color value depending on a comparison result, the second color value set closer to the color value of the non-transparency region, applying the second color value to the transparency-process region, enlarging the process target region, performing the transparency process to the enlarged process target region based on the second color value; and superimposing the enlarged process target region on the second image.
