Abstract:
1. A color image processing apparatus comprising: an obtaining unit configured to obtain correction values used for causing reproduction characteristics of multi-colors formed by an image forming unit to be close to target values using results of measurement of colors of multi-color patch images formed by the image forming unit using a plurality of recording materials; a first processing unit configured to, in a case that the image forming unit forms a color image, execute a correction process for causing the reproduction characteristics of the multi-colors formed by the image forming unit to be close to the target values using the correction values obtained by the obtaining unit; a second processing unit configured to, in a case that the image forming unit forms the color image, execute the correction process for causing the reproduction characteristics of the multi-colors formed by the image forming unit to be close to the target values without using at least some of the correction values obtained by the obtaining unit or not to execute the correction process for causing the reproduction characteristics of the multi-colors formed by the image forming unit to be close to the target values; and a control unit configured to selectively cause the first processing unit and the second processing unit to operate.
