Abstract:
A user can comfortably perform an ordering operation of a print product even in a case where a bandwidth of a network is insufficient.In an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, a program, and a recording medium according to an embodiment of the present invention, an instruction receiving unit receives, as inputs, an image and an instruction of image processing to be performed on the images, and a first image processing unit performs first image processing corresponding to the instruction of image processing on the image to generate a first image after the image processing based on the image and the instruction of image processing received from the instruction receiving unit via a global network. A transmission decision unit decides whether or not to transmit the image and the instruction of image processing to the first image processing unit based on a type of the instruction of image processing, and controls the instruction receiving unit to transmit the image and the instruction of image processing to the first image processing unit in a case where the transfer controller decides to transmit the image and the instruction of image processing to the first image processing unit.
