Abstract
When a plurality of sheets of images are laid out and outputted in one page and characteristic amounts of multivalued image data are obtained to perform preferable image correction, the characteristic amounts of all the images to be recorded in the corresponding page have been beforehand obtained to calculate preferable image correction parameters. Therefore, a waiting time until the start of actual printing has been long. To resolve such an inconvenience, an image processing apparatus of the present invention includes a correction amount deciding unit for deciding or determining an individual correction amount with respect to each of the plurality of image data, and a correcting unit for correcting the image data based on the individual correction amount, whereby the correcting unit respectively corrects the images in accordance with the correction amounts which have already been decided, in a state where the correction amount deciding unit has not completed the decision of the correction amounts for all of the image data.
