<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce developer consumption and enhance discriminability of color characters when converting color images into monochromatic images. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing system 10 comprises: an image acquisition part 51 for acquiring a color image; a region extraction part 52 for extracting a character region of the acquired image; a character color determination part 53 for determining whether the extracted character region is a region having general color characters or a region having color characters different from the general color characters; an emphasis part 54 for executing emphasis processing for the character region determined have the color characters different from the general color characters; a weakening part 55 for executing weakening processing for the character region determined to have the general color characters; an image generating part 56 for generating a subtractive color image having a reduced number of colors of the color image; and a transmission part 56a for transmitting the generated subtractive color image to an external device. Since the region having the general color characters is larger than the region having the color characters different from the general color characters, developer consumption can be reduced by providing the weakening processing to the region. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
