Abstract

It is an object of the invention to provide an image processing apparatus, wherein even when an image recorded on a recording medium is once recorded on a recording material and this is recorded over again, an appropriate printing can be performed. An image ID is added to image data by means of an image ID data issuance device and is stored in a memory. Display image data obtained by performing every kind of image processing in an image processing section are stored in a memory, and recording image data obtained by performing every kind of in the image processing section are stored in a memory and are outputted to an output device before performing printing on the basis of the recording image data. A bar code representing the image ID is printed on a print in a bar code printer. At the time of reprinting, the bar code is read by means of a bar code reader so that the display image data and the recording image data corresponding to the image ID are read out.
