PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing technique which improves the handling performance of image processing information given to an image for use in image processing. SOLUTION: A printer (image processing device) divides an inputted image into a plurality of blocks and extracts an image Ga corresponding to each of the blocks. The colors of the image Ga are reduced to, for example, four colors. Index numbers are given to the pixels of an image Gb, and the four colors are assigned. To a color palette in which color information of the four colors is described, in correspondence with the index numbers, object information indicative of the kinds of images (for example, a character, a chart, or a photographic image) is added. the handling performance of object information (image processing information) for use in image processing, such as color conversion process, is thereby improved.
