Image processing apparatus, computer program product, and preview image displaying method.

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes a system control unit (16), and a display control unit (151). The system control unit (16) judges whether a setting item that is newly selected on a preview image is mutually exclusive with a setting item that has already been selected on the preview image. The display control unit (151) displays, when the setting items are mutually exclusive with each other, an area corresponding to the setting item newly selected differently from other areas. The display control unit (151) also displays, when the area is selected, why the setting item newly selected cannot be set.
