Image processing apparatus, image processing method, program for implementing the method, and storage medium

摘要

There is provided an image processing apparatus which enables high-speed processing with simplified multiplications and divisions even in the case of error diffusion comprised of a combination of processes of two or more colors. The image processing apparatus performs error diffusion on multivalued image data composed of a plurality of density components and outputs the result of the error diffusion. A plurality of error tables are stored in a storage device. One error table is selected from the plurality of error tables according to a density value of a first density component among the plurality of density components and a density value of at least one other density component when performing the error diffusion on the first density component. A CPU performs the error diffusion on the multivalued image data using the selected error table.
