ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus includes a reduced image generating part generating a reduced image having a lower resolution than that of an original digital image. A first extracting part distinctly extracts a first foreground image and a first background image from the reduced image. A first continuous tone converting part converts, into a continuous tone, a halftone dot pattern of the first background image extracted from the reduced image. A combining part combines the first background image of which halftone dot pattern is converted into the continuous tone and an image based on the first foreground image extracted by the first extracting part.
