ABSTRACT:
A block judgment section judges whether a subject block including a plurality of subject pixels is a white block, a black character block or a graphic/color block, on the basis of the frequency of white subject pixels and the density distribution of grey subject pixels. A macro-correction section corrects a judgment value of a character block to that of a graphic block, or vice versa on the basis of a first judgment whether there exists a graphic area larger than a predetermined size in the blocks surrounding the subject block, and a second judgment on the ratio between character blocks and graphic blocks in the blocks directly adjoining the subject block. The macro-corrected judgment value of the subject block is used to select image data of a development color or colors required for reproducing the subject block.
