Abstract:
The present invention includes a first generating unit that generates a recording-amount of a chromatic-color-material in each pixel of a color-image from first image data indicating the color-image; a second generating unit that generates a recording-amount of a transparent-color-material in each pixel of a transparent-image from second image data indicating the transparent-image; a storage unit that stores an upper-limit-recording-amount of the color-materials and an upper-limit-recording-amount assignable to the transparent-color-material, for color material image data indicating an image formed from the recording-amount of the chromatic-color-material and the recording-amount of the transparent-color-material; and a correcting unit that calculates a recording-amount assignable to the transparent-color-material by subtracting the recording-amount of the chromatic-color-material from the upper-limit-recording-amount of the color-materials, and corrects the recording-amount of the transparent-color-material in each pixel based on a ratio of the calculated recording-amount assignable to the transparent-color-material and the upper-limit-recording-amount assignable to the transparent-color-material.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire includes a tread portion; a plurality of main grooves extending in a tire circumferential direction on the tread portion; at least four ribs sectioned by the main grooves on the tread portion; a plurality of open sipes, each formed across both edge portions of the rib, the open sipes being formed on each of the ribs; and a plurality of multisipes, each formed on one of the edge portions of the rib. The multisipes are formed on only each of the ribs between which an outer main groove is positioned, and are aligned along the edge portion of the rib. The outer main groove is a main groove in an outermost position in a tire width direction out of the main grooves.

Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming unit that forms, on a recording medium, an image including a special image based on special image data specifying a density value of a special toner that gives a special effect and a color image based on color image data specifying a density value of a color toner; a determining unit that determines whether the image is to be observed from an image formation surface or the image is to be observed from a surface opposite to the image formation surface through the recording medium; and an adjusting unit that performs adjustment to reduce the density value of the special image data based on a result of determination made by the determining unit.

Abstract:
A three-dimensional shadow processor adds a three-dimensional shadow having a desired length to a character image included in input image data, in a predetermined direction. Whether or not a pixel of interest is a shadow area is determined by updating, delaying and counting data representative of the remaining length of a shadow on the basis of a set length of a shadow to be generated and image data associated with the pixel of interest. In response to the result of decision, either one of input image data and shadow data is selected and outputted.
Abstract:
A digital color converting apparatus applicable to a color copier and others for converting only a desired color included in a color image into another desired color. One of a plurality of input image signals which has the highest level is identified to determine a color to be rendered by the instantaneous signals and, then, whether the result of the identification and a color specified are coincident is determined. Hence, color conversion is effected only in those regions in which the image is regarded as being of the color specified. For color conversion, the input image signal associated with an original color to be changed is applied to an output terminal which is assigned to an alternative color while, at the same time, the input image signal associated with the alternative color is applied to an output terminal which is assigned to the original color, i.e., signals individually associated with the original and alternative colors are replaced with each other.
