Abstract: An image processing device has a normal output mode for output at a normal image density and a color material save mode for reducing color material consumption. The image processing device includes at least one of plural image processing units configured to perform color space conversion processing, black processing, ?conversion processing, and halftone processing, respectively. The at least one of the plural image processing units for color space conversion processing, black processing, ?conversion processing, and halftone processing includes plural processing units including a processing unit of low processing speed for relatively high image quality and a processing unit of high processing speed for relatively low image quality. In the color material save mode, one or more of the at least one of the plural image processing units for color space conversion processing, black processing, ?conversion processing, and halftone processing execute the processing unit of high processing speed.

Abstract: An information acquiring unit acquires information indicating whether a color material used at least for image formation is saved. An image-information generating unit creates, when the information acquiring unit acquires the information for saving the color material, image information using the color material of which consumption is saved.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, an adhesion processing device, an adhesion device, and a fixing device. The image forming device forms an image on a light-transmitting medium with image formation toner. The adhesion processing device sets whether or not to make the light-transmitting medium contact a light-reflecting medium for each of multiple areas of the image. The adhesion device adheres adhesive toner to an area of the light-transmitting medium. The fixing device aligns the light-reflecting medium with the light-transmitting medium such that the light-reflecting medium contacts a surface of the light-transmitting medium to which the adhesive toner adheres and fixes the light-reflecting medium to the light-transmitting medium.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a determination part, an information obtaining part, a dynamic range setting part and a processing part. The determination part determines whether or not an image includes an area where destruction of gradation due to contrast correction tends to be conspicuous. The information obtaining part obtains information of the area when the determination part determines that the image includes such an area. The dynamic range setting part sets a dynamic range using the information obtained by the information obtaining part. The processing part performs the contrast correction on the image using the dynamic range set by the dynamic range setting part.
