Claim One:
1. An image processing apparatus for generating data of a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image containing a latent image portion and a background portion, the image processing apparatus comprising at least three interfaces, and a density setter, the at least three interfaces comprising: a relative value interface for setting a relative value for one of a plurality of reference values respectively set for a plurality of density regions defined within a density variable range of one of the latent image portion and the background portion; a reference value interface for modifying the reference value of one density region to the reference value of another density region among the plurality of density regions; and a density adjustment interface for adjusting a density value of the one of the latent image portion and the background portion, wherein the density setter sets density data of the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image based on at least one of the relative value, the reference value, and the density value of the one of the latent image portion and the background portion set by at least one of the three interfaces.
