摘要： According to an aspect of the invention, an image processing apparatus includes a first calculating unit, a second calculating unit, and a control unit. The first calculating unit calculates, for each print subject image, consumptions of recording materials when the print subject image is printed based on image data of the print subject image, a first value of a first element and a second value of a second element. The second calculating unit calculates a first consumption variation range of the recording materials that corresponds to a first adjustment range of the first element and a second consumption variation range of the recording materials that corresponds to a first adjustment range of the second element. The control unit controls a display device so that the display device displays the first adjustment range and the first variation range and displays the second adjustment range and the second variation range.

摘要： An image processing apparatus includes the following elements. A characteristic value calculator calculates characteristic values of a preset area set around a pixel of interest. A trapping determining unit determines, for each color plane of an N-valued image, on the basis of the calculated characteristic values, whether the pixel of interest is to be subjected to trapping processing. A pixel value calculator sets, for each color plane, a position of a reference pixel in a reference area, and calculates a pixel value for changing the pixel value of the pixel of interest on the basis of a pixel value of each color plane at the position of the reference pixel. A pixel-of-interest value changing unit changes the pixel value of the pixel of interest into the calculated pixel value when the trapping determining unit determines that the pixel of interest is to be subjected to trapping processing.
