Claim 0:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to
convert a total-amount restriction value that is input into a value corresponding to a total gradation value,
for each of colors of color materials included in an image forming apparatus, normalize a gradation value of color information into a value of a color material amount using a gradation value of the color of the color information by using a conversion table indicating a correspondence between gradation values and color material amounts of the each of the colors,

perform total-amount restriction on the normalized and converted value of the color material amount of the each of the colors based on the total gradation value, and
perform an inverse normalization on the respective restricted values of the color material amount of the each of the colors, after the total-amount restriction, by using an inverse conversion table corresponding to the conversion table.
