Upon receiving, from a source image forming apparatus, image data that has been subjected to a preceding stage of image processing in the source image forming apparatus, an image forming apparatus of the present invention judges whether or not the image data has added thereto related information, such as the model name of the source image forming apparatus, which specifies the contents of the preceding stage of image processing. In a case where the image data has related information added thereto, the image forming apparatus performs an image conversion process on the image data according to the related information so that the image data can be compatibly subjected to a subsequent stage of image processing in the image forming apparatus, and then stores the image data in a hard disk. This makes it possible to output a high-quality image even in a case where an image processing operation for image-quality adjustment is separately carried out in different image forming apparatuses.
