SOLUTION: This device has plural highlight point detecting methods, selects a highlight point corresponding to the characteristic of an original image and sets a color processing condition to the original image in accordance with the highlight point. Also, a histogram of the original image is produced, whether or not a peak exists in a high luminance part in the histogram is detected and the highlight point detecting method is changed in accordance with the detected result. In this system, for instance, a printer 105 such as an ink jet printer and a monitor 106 are connected to a host computer 100. Also, the computer 100 has application software 101, a printer driver 103, etc., as software. |
