Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: conversion means configured to convert image data corresponding to a pixel of interest in an image into color material data corresponding to a color material amount of a chromatic color material; generation means configured to generate color material data corresponding to a color material amount of an achromatic color material at the pixel of interest in such a manner that the color material data corresponding to the color material amount of the achromatic color material at the pixel of interest is different from color material data corresponding to a color material amount of the achromatic color material at a pixel adjacent to the pixel of interest; and random number generation means configured to generate a random number, wherein the generation means generates the color material data corresponding to the color material amount of the achromatic color material at the pixel of interest based on the random number.
