Abstract

High density portions of images are preferentially expressed when a plurality of images constructed by multivalue image data are synthesized. A plurality of different images are synthesized, wherein overlapped multivalue image data of pixels among multivalue image data constructing the images are compared and the multivalue image data of which one of the images should be preferentially used is determined in accordance with the comparison result.
