Abstract: An image processing apparatus executes color conversion so that when printing is performed based on image data compressed and decompressed with a lossy compression method, the image data reproduces expected colors of the image data before compression. More specifically, a range of a signal value of a black image affected by compression of image data, such as black character to be printed with black ink, is obtained, and a color separation table is generated such that color ink is not used but black ink is used within this range. This allows the image data to reproduce expected colors of the image data before compression when printing is performed based on the image data compressed and decompressed with a lossy compression method.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory to store a program and a processor to execute the program stored in the memory. The processor selects randomly output target images from output target candidate images and generates a plurality of layout images, each of which is generated by laying out the selected output target image. A template includes at least one image layout area. The processor determines a layout image from the generated plurality of layout images, by evaluating the selected target images included in each of the generated plurality of layout images according to both of first information corresponding to a user's evaluations for each of the selected output target images and second information based on an output history of each of the selected output target images in accordance with user designations. The processor outputs the determined layout image.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus according to this invention analyzes image data to be printed, and generates sequence information for defining the moving range of each scanning motion of a recording head and the conveyance amount of a recording medium. The apparatus divides a recording area defined by the generated sequence information into areas so that the processing amounts of a plurality of processing units capable of parallelly executing processes are equal to each other, distributes data of the divided areas to the processing units, and causes each of the processing units to generate recording image data. The apparatus performs recording by controlling driving and a scanning motion of the recording head and conveyance of the recording medium based on the recording image data obtained by the processing units.
