Method and apparatus for setting image processing conditions

摘要

Finishing requirements are set (S31) and points of image data at each of which the finishing requirements should be met are specified (S32). The magnitude of correction of each of set-up parameters related to gradation is set based on halftone % data at each specified point and target halftone % data corresponding to the finishing requirements (S35). The halftone % data at each specified point is re-calculated based on the corrected set-up parameters (S36). The result of correction is evaluated and each of the set-up parameters is repeatedly corrected so as to reach the optimum value (S37). As a result, the most suitable set-up parameters can be obtained. Thus, the optimum image in which the finishing requirements are met can be obtained by image processing under the optimum set-up parameters.
