PURPOSE:To facilitate the addition of image processing and the change of contents at low cost by converting color separation data into second color separation data by using a neural network, and outputting the plural color separation data to the outside. CONSTITUTION:An original is read by an original reader 100, color separation data Y, M and C are transmitted to an image processor 200, and the data Y, M and C are inputted to a neural network 201a. Based on information, an image processing part 201 masks an input 203a of an arithmetic unit 203, executes image processing due to the network 201a and outputs second color separation data Y<0>, M<0> and C<0> to an input 203b of the unit. Then, the unit 203 synthesizes the Y, M and C inputted from the input 203a and the data Y<0>, M<0> and C<0> inputted from the input 203b, converts them into third color separation data and outputs them as color separation data Y<00>, M<00> and C<00> to a printer 300 together with the first color separation data. Thus, the addition and change of image processing can be facilitated at low cost. |
