IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
An image processing apparatus includes a processor and a warning unit. The processor applies screen processing to image data including a periodic pattern. The warning unit outputs, in a case where a difference between an evaluation value of image quality of the image data before the screen processing and an evaluation value of image quality of the image data after the screen processing is outside a predetermined range of values, warning information indicating that the difference is outside the predetermined range of values.
1 . An image processing apparatus comprising:
a processor that applies screen processing to image data including a periodic pattern; and
a warning unit that outputs, in a case where a difference between an evaluation value of image quality of the image data before the screen processing and an evaluation value of image quality of the image data after the screen processing is outside a predetermined range of values, warning information indicating that the difference is outside the predetermined range of values.
2 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the warning unit calculates the evaluation values regarding a specific object.
3 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein, in a case where a difference between an average value of pixel values of pixels constituting the specific object before the screen processing and an average value of pixel values of pixels constituting the specific object after the screen processing is outside a predetermined range of values, the warning unit outputs the warning information.
4 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the specific object is an image object.
5 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the image object is composed of lossless-compressed data.
6 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the warning unit displays the warning information by including the warning information in a preview image of the corresponding image data.
7 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the warning unit applies control to print and output the warning information on a recording medium by including the warning information in the corresponding image data.
8 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the warning information is rendering the specific object using a specific color.
9 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the warning unit further records the warning information as history information.
10 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a receiving unit that receives print instruction information including print data; and
a generating unit that generates the image data from the print data,
wherein, in a case where the print instruction information includes setting details of the screen processing, the processor performs the screen processing while giving a high priority to the setting details of the screen processing.
11 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a receiving unit that receives print instruction information including print data; and
a generating unit that generates the image data from the print data, wherein:
the print instruction information includes information indicating whether to validate or invalidate an output of the warning information, and
the warning unit follows the information.
12 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
applying screen processing to image data including a periodic pattern; and
in a case where a difference between an evaluation value of image quality of the image data before the screen processing and an evaluation value of image quality of the image data after the screen processing is outside a predetermined range of values, outputting warning information indicating that the difference is outside the predetermined range of values.
13 . An image processing apparatus comprising:
processing means for applying screen processing to image data including a periodic pattern; and
warning means for outputting, in a case where a difference between an evaluation value of image quality of the image data before the screen processing and an evaluation value of image quality of the image data after the screen processing is outside a predetermined range of values, warning information indicating that the difference is outside the predetermined range of values.
