Abstract: An image processing apparatus caused to perform controlling for making a first lightness compression ratio of a first image region higher than a second lightness compression ratio of a second image region based on a setting for printing an image using a spot color that is different from process colors being set, the first image region not corresponding to the spot color in the image, and the second image region corresponding to the spot color in the image, and controlling for displaying the image after the first controlling is executed.

Abstract: An image capturing unit captures an image including an embedded image that is printed on the basis of image data in which at least a color component has been modulated according to additional information. An adjustment unit adjusts a white balance of the image captured by the image capturing unit on the basis of an adjustment value associated with the embedded image. A processing unit processes image data of the image captured by the image capturing unit whose white balance has been adjusted by the adjustment unit to read the additional information in the image captured by the image capturing unit.

Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to perform color calibration of a printing apparatus that performs printing with a fluorescent material regardless of unevenness of a fluorescent whitening agent contained in the sheet. An embodiment of the present invention is a control apparatus including: a control unit that controls printing of a patch on a printing medium, the patch being formed by printing a fluorescent material; and a correction unit that corrects a printing amount of the fluorescent material based on a measurement result obtained by receiving light reflected by the printing medium on which the patch is printed, in which the patch is printed using the fluorescent material and a non-fluorescent material, and at least one dot of the non-fluorescent material overlaps a dot of the fluorescent material.

Abstract: The image processing apparatus includes: a color conversion unit configured to convert an input color space of the document image data into a device-dependent color space specified by the plurality of color materials; and an output unit configured to output the document image data converted into the device-dependent color space, and the color conversion unit performs, in a case where the document image data includes a first kind of object and a second kind of object different from the first kind, the conversion by selectively applying a first color conversion method of converting data corresponding to the first kind of object into data represented in a first color space and a second color conversion method of converting data corresponding to the second kind of object into data represented in a second color space different from the first color space within one print job.

Abstract: The first image data is converted into the second image data defined by a color space that depends on an output apparatus that outputs image data. Additional information is multiplexed on the converted second image data by using a multiplex parameter.

Abstract: A control method for an image processing apparatus that generates a plurality of pieces of album data corresponding to a plurality of albums includes automatically selecting at least one piece of image data out of a plurality of pieces of image data as common image data corresponding to an image to be placed in a common page, which is a page common to all of the plurality of albums, based on an evaluation that is based on a first factor, and automatically selecting at least one piece of image data out of the plurality of pieces of image data as individual image data corresponding to an image to be placed in an individual page, which is a page not common to all of the plurality of albums, based on an evaluation that is based on a second factor.
