Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus connectable to a server, the apparatus comprising: a first storage configured to store an original image; a second storage configured to store data indicating tones; a selector configured to select a data item indicating a tone from the data stored in the second storage; a processor configured to change a tone of a reduced image of the original image stored in the first storage based on the selected data item indicating the tone in order to output a tone-changed reduced image; a display configured to display the tone-changed reduced image output from the processor; a connection determination unit configured to determine whether the image processing apparatus is connected to the network; a transmitter configured to transmit the original image stored in the first storage to the server via the network together with the selected data item indicating the tone when the connection determination unit determines that the image processing apparatus is connected to the network; a conversion controller configured to cause the processor to change the tone of the original image based on the selected data item indicating the tone when the connection determination unit determines that the image processing apparatus is not connected to the network; and a receiver configured to receive the original image whose tone is changed by the server while the image processing apparatus is connected to the network.
