Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus for generating image data for image recording using, as recording materials, a colored material and a high transmissivity material higher in transmittance than the colored material, comprising: a color separation unit configured to perform color separation processing on input image data so as to generate material amount data representing a recording amount of each recording material; and a generation unit configured to perform halftone processing of generating binary data for each recording scan in an image recording apparatus based on the material amount data, wherein a discharge of the colored material in a first recording scan of recording the colored material and a discharge of the high transmissivity material in a second recording scan of recording the high transmissivity material are represented by the binary data for each recording scan, wherein the high transmissivity material is recorded at a predetermined thickness on a recording layer of the colored material after the first recording scan, wherein the generation unit comprises: wherein the halftone processing unit comprises: wherein at least one of the color separation unit, or the generation unit is implemented using a processor.
