A color image forming apparatus is provided for reproducing, on an image output medium, an original color image formed on an image input medium. In the color image forming apparatus, a color distribution state of the original color image is detected. A color image data of a color of each of picture elements of the original color image is obtained. There is obtained a control signal for controlling its recording portion to record a color corresponding to the color of the original color image, on the basis of the color image data through such a color-compression transformation as depends on the detected color distribution state of the original color image. The recording portion of the color image forming apparatus therefore reproduces the original color image on the image output medium with sufficient reproducibility irrespective of color distribution of the original color image.
