ABSTRACT:
When image data output to an ink-jet recording apparatus for performing color recording using inks of a plurality of colors is to be processed, input image data is converted into data corresponding to colors of inks and gamma correction is applied to the data corresponding to colors of inks. In this gamma correction processing, the grayscale value represented by the data is decreased to reduce the amount of shot-in ink. In the present invention, gamma correction for data corresponding to a chromatic ink differs from gamma correction for data corresponding to an achromatic ink such that higher gray level data is decreased by a smaller factor than lower gray level data for the data corresponding to the achromatic ink.
