PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing device, a processing method, a formation device, and a processing program that prevent an object at a peripheral edge part of an image from sticking out of a printing range.SOLUTION: An image formation device comprises a thinning-out processing unit 23 which detects an edge value indicating strength of an edge component of each pixel of image data, and thins out pixels in such a path that a total of edge values is minimum among paths of pixels connecting one end to the other end of an image so as to convert a longitudinal/lateral ratio of the image.EFFECT: The longitudinal/lateral ratio of the image can be converted while an apparent feeling of incompatibility is suppressed by thinning out pixels of a region where the intensity of an edge component is low, thereby preventing an object at a peripheral edge part of the image form sticking out of a printing range.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
