Claim 7:
8. An image processing method comprising:
a step of receiving, by an instruction receiving unit, as inputs, an image, an instruction to select a print product material to which the image is applied, and an instruction of image processing to be performed on the image;
a step of performing, by a second image processing unit, third image processing of reducing a resolution of the image to generate a third image after the resolution is changed based on a minimum required resolution of an image for printing set for each type of the print product material;
a step of deciding, by a transmission decision unit, whether or not to transmit the third image and the instruction of image processing to a first image processing unit based on a type of the instruction of image processing;
a step of controlling, by a transfer controller, the instruction receiving unit, to transmit only the third image as the image and the instruction of image processing to the first image processing unit in a case where it is decided to transmit the third image and the instruction of image processing to the first image processing unit, and
a step of performing, by the first image processing unit, first image processing corresponding to the instruction of image processing on the third image to generate a first image after the image processing based on the third image and the instruction of image processing received from the instruction receiving unit via a global network.
