Image processing apparatus, image processing method, program for implementing the method

摘要

There is provided an image processing apparatus that can reduce the overlap of dots to thereby enable achievement of favorable visual characteristics, and reduce the amount of pseudo outlines in half tone and reduce the quantity of inks to be shot to thereby suppress an increase in the running cost. When performing the error diffusion on a first density component of the plurality of density components, a threshold to be used for the error diffusion is determined based on a density value of at least one second density component of the plurality of density components. The error diffusion on the first density component is executed based on the determined threshold. A result of the executed error diffusion is outputted.
