ABSTRACT:
An improved image processing technology capable of obtaining a synthesized image file having high reproducibility without causing missing image parts due to partial or complete overlap among extracted areas when a document image file is created via synthesis of character, graphic and photograph areas that have been extracted from image data obtained via reading of an original document and that have been subjected to image processing. According to this image processing technology, circumscribed rectangular areas for each effective image area of image data is extracted while complementing pixels other than pixels comprising the effective image area using prescribed complementary pixels, and the complementary pixels for the extracted areas are rendered transparent.
