An image processing apparatus which processes image data either in a character image reading mode or a character/photo mixed-image reading mode. The apparatus includes an MTF filter that emphasizes the image data, a smoothing filter that smooths the image data, a memory that stores white data, a mesh-screen image judging device that judges whether the image data is a mesh-screen image in the character image reading mode and the character/photo mixed-image reading mode, and an isolated-pixel judging device that judges whether the image data is an isolated-pixel. A first selection device selects an output of the MTF filter when the isolated-pixel judging device judges the image data to be a non-isolated-pixel and selects the white data when the isolated-pixel judging device judges the image data to be an isolated-pixel, when the mesh-screen image judging device judges the image data to be a non-mesh-screen image. A second selection device selects an output of the first selection device when the mesh-screen image judging device judges the image data to be a non-mesh-screen image and selects an output of the smoothing filter when the mesh-screen image judging device judges said image data to be a mesh-screen image.
