Abstract

An image processing system and method includes selecting a color desired by a user, extracting a partial image corresponding to the color desired by the user and selected from a bit-map image, converting the partial image into vector data, storing the vector data in a memory, and setting the converted vector data as vector data to be processed as desired by the user. The image processing system and method further includes calculating a palette color from the bit-map image, extracting a partial image corresponding to the palette color, converting the partial image into vector data per color object, storing the vector data in a memory, and setting, as vector data to be processed as desired by the user, vector data per object that is selected from the vector data stored in the memory based on the color selected from the calculated palette colors.
