Abstract:
1. An image processing system including a server apparatus and a plurality of image output apparatuses connected to the server apparatus via a local area network (LAN), wherein the server apparatus comprises: an intermediate code generation unit configured to generate an intermediate code of a Lab color space on the basis of a page description language by a single analysis of job data for image data to be output; a first color matching unit configured to execute a first color matching processing for the generated intermediate code to a first reference color space of the plurality of image output apparatuses in accordance with a rendering intent specified from among a plurality of rendering intents, and output intermediate data to be transmitted to the plurality of image output apparatuses as first data in which a color space thereof is corrected to the first reference color space of the connected image output apparatuses; and an intermediate code transmission unit configured to transmit the first data which has undergone the first color matching processing to each of the plurality of image output apparatuses, and wherein each of the plurality of image output apparatuses comprises: a reception unit configured to receive the first data which has undergone the first color matching processing from the server apparatus; a second color matching unit configured to execute, if the rendering intent indicates a colorimetric color matching scheme, a second color matching processing for the received first data to a second color space of the image output apparatus using a profile corrected by a calibration, and output the processed first data as second data corrected on the second color space; a rendering unit configured to render a bitmap image on the basis of the second data as intermediate code which has undergone the second color matching processing; and an image output unit configured to output the rendered image.
