Image data generation method, image data generation apparatus, image processing method, image processing apparatus, and recording medium

摘要

Image processing in accordance with a resolution of an output device is carried out. Sharpness processing appropriate for reproduction on a 72-dpi monitor is carried out on image data obtained by a scanner. The image data after the processing are recorded in a recording medium by recording medium generation means. At this time, a parameter necessary for calculation of an enhancement factor of sharpness processing necessary for reproduction of the image data by a printer having resolution different from that of the monitor is added to the image data as accompanying information. A user carries out sharpness processing appropriate for the resolution of the printer by referring to the accompanying information, for reproduction of the image data recorded in the recording medium with the printer.
