Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

摘要

An image processing apparatus according to the present invention includes an image forming unit configured to form an image, a measuring unit configured to measure the formed image, a control unit configured to control execution of a single-color calibration to be performed to correct reproduction characteristics of a single-color formed by the image forming unit based on a measuring result of a single-color image formed with a single-color recording agent and execution of a multi-color calibration to be performed to correct reproduction characteristics of a multi-color image formed by the image forming unit based on a measuring result of a multi-color formed with a plurality of recording agents, and a selection unit configured to select whether to cause the control unit to perform the multi-color calibration after completing the single-color calibration or cause the control unit to perform any one of the single-color calibration and the multi-color calibration.

1. An image processing apparatus having a printer configured to form an image and performing correction by using correction data when the image is formed by the printer, the image processing apparatus comprising:
a sensor configured to obtain a measurement value by measuring an image formed by the printer; at least one processor configured to control:
execution of a single-color calibration, the single-color calibration being executed to generate single-color image forming correction data that is to be used when a single-color image is formed by the printer, the single-color image forming correction data being generated in the single-color calibration by using the measurement value acquired by the sensor by measuring at least one single-color patch formed by the printer, the at least one single-color patch being formed by using a toner of a single kind of color;execution of a multi-color calibration, the multi-color calibration being executed to generate multi-color image forming correction data that is to be used when a multi-color image is formed by the printer, the multi-color image forming correction data being generated in the multi-color calibration by using the measurement value acquired by the sensor by measuring at least one multi-color patch formed by the printer, the at least one multi-color patch being formed by using a toner of multiple kinds of color;display of a first screen on a display for enabling a user to select whether to cause the at least one processor to perform the single-color calibration or the multi-color calibration; anddisplay of a second screen on the display for enabling a user to select whether to cause the at least one processor to perform the multi-color calibration with performing the single-color calibration or to cause the multi-color calibration without performing the single-color calibration, if causing the at least one processor to perform the multi-color calibration is selected by the user via the first screen displayed on the display.
