Abstract
An image processing system including an image processing unit for processing input image data and an output unit for outputting an image processed in the image processing unit. The image processing unit has the function of cutting out a background portion of the image and effecting color specification and further has the function of specifying a method of processing the background portion. When printing the image, the output unit recognizes the background portion on the basis of the color specification and carries out background processing for the recognized background portion on the basis of the specified background processing method. It is possible to prevent visible unevenness of printing from occurring in the background portion.
