ABSTRACT:
In an image processing device, from an object image, an area reproduced by K component only and having at least a prescribed density is extracted as a gray area to be replaced, and a color of an area neighboring the gray area is extracted. When the neighboring area contains a color other than the K component, a replacing color is calculated based on the amount of K component (luminance) of the gray area and the color of the neighboring area, and the color of the gray area is replaced by the replacing color.
