In image processing including a PDL processing in which a display list is generated from PDL data described in a page description language (PDL), and a RIP processing in which bitmap data is generated by rendering the display list, before starting the PDL processing on the PDL data, it is determined to generate a display list with overlap removed in the PDL processing when a prediction of the load on the RIP processing is larger than that on the PDL processing, and to generate a display list without overlap removed when the prediction of the load on the PDL processing is larger than that on the RIP processing. According to the present invention, it is possible to quickly and easily balance the load of PDL processing and the load of RIP processing, thereby realizing efficient pipeline processing.
