Abstract: An image processing apparatus performs predetermined image processing for read data obtained by reading an image on a document by first and second reading sensors arranged so as to have an overlapping area. The predetermined image processing includes color correction processing of converting color signals detected by light receiving elements of the reading sensors into color signals with respect to each of pixels forming read data.

By doing this, an image in which image unevenness caused by individual differences of the short reading sensors is reduced can be output.

Abstract: A width in a first direction of a line in image data corresponding to an image to be printed by a printing apparatus is corrected, based on information on a print result of line-width detection images printed based on line-width detection image data in a raster format that is generated by performing rasterization processing on line-width detection image data in a vector format. In the line-width detection image data in the vector format, a distance between centers of the widths in the first direction of two lines adjacent in the first direction in each line-width detection image is an integral multiple of a rasterization resolution in the rasterization processing.
