Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a detecting portion, a correspondence setting portion, a piling order determining portion, and a print data generating portion. The detecting portion detects color information based on image data. The correspondence setting portion determines respective colors of a plurality of paper sheets to be used in creation of a material M based on the color information, and associates the determined colors with respective section image regions which are made by the read image being sectioned based on the color information. The piling order determining portion determines a piling order of paper sheets having those colors. The print data generating portion generates print data of an image that includes cutting lines for each of paper sheets composing the material M1. A control portion causes an image forming portion to form line images indicating the cutting lines based on the print data in accordance with the piling order.
