Abstract:
1. An image processor for outputting image data to an image forming device forming an image on a recording medium with use of a recording material having a plurality of color components, the image processor comprising: a determination component for determining a region having higher brightness than a predetermined brightness and a region having lower brightness than the predetermined brightness in the image data on the basis of the image data; and a saturation adjustment component for adjusting saturation so as to reduce density values of color components other than a color component having a maximum density value among the plurality of color components of the recording material to increase saturation in a region having brightness determined to be high by the determination component, and reduce density values of color components other than a color component having a minimum density value among the plurality of color components of the recording material to decrease saturation in a region having brightness determined to be low by the determination component.
