ABSTRACT:
In an image forming apparatus, an isolated shadow is extracted from image data, and a feature amount is calculated from the extracted isolated shadow. The grayscale conversion characteristic is changed on the basis of the calculated feature amount. Grayscale conversion of the image data is executed on the basis of the changed grayscale conversion characteristic.
