ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus comprises a first correction part for correcting an error of an input multilevel tone data so that a corrected data having a speficied number of bits is supplied, a multilevel rendition part for generating a multilevel rendition data and an error data from the corrected data being compared with a plurality of predetermined threshold levels, an error diffusion part for carrying out a prescribed error diffusion of the error data and for supplying a resulting error data for use in an error correction process of a subsequent data, and a second correction part for correcting the multilevel rendition data by a specified bit of the input multilevel tone data so that a corrected multilevel image data that is appropriate for being outputted by an output unit in which a multilevel tone data is assigned to each pixel included in an output image data is supplied.
