Abstract: A first acquiring unit acquires a background image being an image of a usage environment in which a printed material is used, a lighting image of a lighting installed in the usage environment, and light source information indicating an optical attribute in the usage environment. A second acquiring unit acquires print data. A display control unit displays a preview image on a display unit, where the preview image is an image in which a printed material image is superimposed on the background image, and the printed material image is an image in which the lighting image is mapped by environment mapping onto a print-image display surface generated based on the print data and in which the optical attribute specified by the light source information is set.

Abstract: A display processing apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive display information indicating whether gloss-control plane image data is displayed and whether clear plane image data is displayed. The gloss-control plane image data specifies a type of a surface effect applied to a recording medium and a glossy area to which the surface effect is to be applied, and indicates a color of the glossy area when being displayed. The clear plane image data specifies a transparent image formed on the recording medium and indicates a color of the transparent image when being displayed. The apparatus also includes a generating unit configured to synthesize color plane image data indicating a color image and one of the gloss-control plane image data and the clear plane image data that is specified to be displayed thus to generate a synthetic image.

Abstract: A display processing apparatus includes a transparent display data generating unit and a preview image generating unit. Based on document data including color plane image data indicating an area for which use of a color developer is specified and transparent plane image data indicating an area for which use of a transparent developer is specified together with the type of transparent processing performed on the area by using the transparent developer, the transparent display data generating unit generates pieces of transparent display data showing a result of image formation corresponding to the transparent processing with the transparent developer for each type of transparent processing. The preview image generating unit generates a preview image by projecting a color display plane on which the color plane image data is displayed and transparent display planes on which the pieces of transparent display data are displayed in a three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional plane.

Abstract: The invention is concerning to an image processing apparatus of the present invention including an acquisition unit, a first setting unit, a second setting unit, and a detection unit. The acquisition unit acquires image data. The first setting unit sets an area included in the image data as a template area. The second setting unit sets a search area indicating an area to be subjected to a detection process for detecting an area similar to the template area from the image data. The detection unit performs the detection process for detecting, out of the search area, whether or not there is an area similar to the template area in an area other than an area corresponding to each of the template area and an area that has been detected by the detection process.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus for transferring a toner image from an image carrier to a sheet-like recording medium by way of an intermediate transfer body is disclosed. A position on the intermediate transfer body where image formation should start is determined in accordance with the frequency of use of each of a plurality of regions defined on the intermediate transfer body. Specifically, one of the regions minimizing the sum of the frequencies of use of the regions is selected as the above position. The intermediate transfer body can therefore be evenly used over its entire circumference. While the intermediate transfer body is in a stand-by state, it is intermittently driven so as to be free from deformation.
