ABSTRACT:
An image-processing apparatus configured to perform a background-color-removal process on color image data. The image-processing apparatus includes a determination unit configured to determine whether a pixel value of the color image data is highlight information to be reproduced using a light color material, and also includes a processing unit configured to perform a background-color-removal process, using a highlight background color level, on a pixel having a pixel value determined by the determination unit to be the highlight information, and to perform a background-color-removal process, using a background color level that is lower in luminance than the highlight background color level, on a pixel having a pixel value determined not to be the highlight information.
