Abstract: Provided are an image enlargement/reduction rate calculation apparatus, an image enlargement/reduction rate calculation method, and an image enlargement/reduction rate calculation program which are capable of outputting an image with a small blurriness degree. A blurriness value is calculated for each image area, and the smallest blurriness value is decided (step S24). Resolution of a printer that prints the image is read (step S25). An enlargement/reduction rate in which the blurriness value is equal to or smaller than a second threshold value is calculated based on the decided blurriness value (step S26).
