Abstract
A function of performing printing with color material usage reduced compared to normal printing is provided. Image data to be printed is analyzed to obtain attribute information of each object. A conversion technique to be applied to each object is determined from a plurality of image data conversion processing techniques for color material usage reduction based on the attribute information of the object. A conversion process is performed using the determined conversion technique. Here, the image data conversion processing techniques include at least a print density reduction process and an image size decrease process.
