Claim One:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a screen processing unit configured to perform screen processing on input image data; a first detection unit configured to detect a boundary pixel adjacent to a white pixel in the input image data; and a first output unit configured to output output image data based on a result of the detection, wherein, in a case where a pixel of interest is detected as the boundary pixel by the first detection unit, the first output unit outputs, as an output value of the pixel of interest, a value based on a pixel value of the pixel of interest in the input image data, wherein, in a case where a pixel of interest is not detected as the boundary pixel by the first detection unit, the first output unit outputs, as an output value of the pixel of interest, a value based on a pixel value of the pixel of interest in image data on which the screen processing is performed.
