Patent ID: 8619322

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: an analysis unit configured to obtain information on a draw position of an object by analyzing a draw command of the object; a correction unit configured to correct a draw position of the object in a sub-scanning direction using the information on the draw position and information on deviation in a sub-scanning direction of an image formed by an image forming unit; a shape changing unit configured to change a shape of the object in a sub-scanning direction using the information on the draw position and the information on the deviation; and a rasterizing unit configured to, in a case where an attribute of the object is an image, rasterize the object whose shape is changed by the shape changing unit to the draw position corrected by the correction unit and, in a case where an attribute of the object is a text, rasterize the object whose shape is not changed by the shape changing unit to the draw position corrected by the correction unit.
