The present invention provides an image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus is capable of determining a color-separation condition suitable for any kind of prepress scanner and comprises an image reading unit, a converting condition storing device for storing at least one converting condition for converting first R.G.B. signals obtained through reading by the image reading unit into second R.G.B. signals which are substantially equivalent to signals obtained through reading by one of the other image reading units equipped with an apparatus other than the image processing apparatus, a first converting device for converting the first R.G.B. signals into the second R.G.B. signals in accordance with the converting condition, a second converting device for converting the second R.G.B. signals into at least one of C.M.Y. signals and C.M.Y.K. signals in accordance with a color-separation condition, a color-separation condition correcting device for correcting the color-separation condition, and a visual image producing device for producing a visual image from the C.M.Y. signals obtained by the second converting device during each color-separation condition correcting step until a final correction. <IMAGE> |
