An image processing apparatus includes a processor including a setting unit to assign a correction control point to a first color-space value dependent on a first output device and a color chart generator to convert the first color-space value to which the correction control point is assigned into a second color-space value dependent on a second output device, displace the second color-space value, convert a displaced second color-space value into a displaced first color-space value, and generate a color chart including a patch generated based on the displaced first color-space value; an image forming device to output the color chart; and a colorimeter to perform colorimetry of the color chart. The processor further includes a correction parameter generator to generate a correction parameter to correct an output profile with a colorimetric value by the colorimeter, and an output profile correction unit to correct the output profile using the correction parameter.
