==NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18479542 titled 'NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an image processing apparatus that controls the lightness compression ratio of different image regions based on the setting for printing an image using a spot color that is different from process colors.

* The apparatus adjusts the lightness compression ratio of image regions to enhance the printing quality of spot colors.
* The first image region, not corresponding to the spot color, is compressed more than the second image region, corresponding to the spot color.
* The apparatus also controls the display of the image after the compression is executed.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in the printing industry for enhancing the quality of images printed using spot colors.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of maintaining image quality when printing images with spot colors that are different from process colors.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved printing quality for images with spot colors, better control over lightness compression ratios, and enhanced overall image display.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Enhancing Image Printing Quality with Spot Colors"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to image processing techniques for optimizing printing quality based on different color settings.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does the apparatus determine the optimal lightness compression ratios for different image regions? ===
The patent application does not provide specific details on the algorithm or method used to calculate the lightness compression ratios.

=== Are there any limitations to the effectiveness of this technology in real-world printing scenarios? ===
The application does not address any potential challenges or limitations that may arise when implementing this technology in practical printing environments.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image processing apparatus caused to perform controlling for making a first lightness compression ratio of a first image region higher than a second lightness compression ratio of a second image region based on a setting for printing an image using a spot color that is different from process colors being set, the first image region not corresponding to the spot color in the image, and the second image region corresponding to the spot color in the image, and controlling for displaying the image after the first controlling is executed.
