摘要

A printing apparatus prints an image with the use of a luster agent and a colorant, and is provided with a color conversion unit which converts a color of an image into a printed color expressed by the luster agent and the colorant such that a degree of change in brightness with respect to a gradation change for pixels belonging to a highlighted part, in which index values relating to the brightness are equal to or greater than a first predetermined value, is greater than that for pixels with index values which do not belong to the highlighted part, among the pixels constituting the image.
