<p>A primary binary image is converted into a weighted multivalued image with pixel values weighted. An upper shift-inverting unit inverts the pixel values, shifts them upward by one dot, and thus converts the primary binary image into an inverted upper-shifted image. A lower shift inverting unit inverts the pixel values, shifts them downward by one dot, and thus converts the primary binary image into an inverted lower-shifted image. A right shift inverting unit inverts the pixel values, shifts them rightward by one dot, and thus converts the primary binary image into an inverted right-shifted image. A left shift inverting unit inverts the pixel values, shifts them leftward by one dot, and thus converts the primary binary image into an inverted left-shifted image. A gradation processing unit subtracts the inverted upper-shifted image, inverted lower-shifted image, inverted right-shifted image and inverted left-shifted image from the weighted multivalued image, thereby synthesizing these pieces of image data. The primary binary image is thus converted into the half-tone image with gradations containing half-tones. <IMAGE></p> |
