Abstract
An image processing apparatus may create text image data representing a text image, based on target image data representing a target image including text. The image processing apparatus may determine an extended text area in the target image based on information related to a sharpness of the text included in the target image. The extended text area may include a text area corresponding to pixels constituting text in the text image represented by the created text image data, and also include a surrounding area around the text area. The image processing apparatus may change a color of the extended text area to a color of a background of the target image to create background image data.
