Abstract
Abstract A mono color image outputting system for an image processing apparatus applies a color correction separated color signals in the input section converts them into recording signals of color material, before outputting a color image. In the mono color outputting system, a gradation property of value data in the input section is linearly compressed to correspond to a gradation property of value data in the output section.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
An image processing apparatus having a monochrome image producing system, comprising: an input section for receiving an input signal; means for converting said input signal into a first luminous signal; means for linearly compressing said first luminous signal and generating a second luminous signal; means for producing a recording signal based on said second luminous signal and a specified color signal; and output means for forming a monochrome image on a paper in accordance with the recording signal and the specified color signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
An image processing apparatus having a monochrome image producing system, comprising: an input section for receiving an input signal; means for converting said input signal into a first luminous signal; means for linearly compressing said first luminous signal and generating a second luminous signal; means for producing a recording signal based on said second luminous signal and a specified color signal; and output means for forming a monochrome image on a paper in accordance with the recording signal and the specified color signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
An image processing apparatus having a monochrome image producing system, comprising: an input section for receiving an input signal; means for converting said input signal into a first luminous signal, said converting means including means for generating an equivalent neutral density signal from the input signal; means for linearly compressing said first luminous signal and generating a second luminous signal; and means for producing a recording signal based on said second luminous signal and a specified color signal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
78 words
An image processing apparatus having a monochrome image producing system, comprising: an input section for receiving an input signal; means for converting said input signal into a first luminous signal, said converting means including means for generating an equivalent neutral density signal from the input signal; means for linearly compressing said first luminous signal and generating a second luminous signal; and means for producing a recording signal based on said second luminous signal and a specified color signal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
103 words
An image processing apparatus having a monochrome image producing system, comprising: an input section for receiving an input signal; means for converting said input signal into a first luminous signal; means for linearly compressing said first luminous signal and generating a second luminous signal; means for producing a recording signal based on said second luminous signal and a specified color signal; and output means for forming a monochrome image on a paper in accordance with the recording signal and the specified color signal, the linearly compressing means matching a luminous range of the input section to a luminous range of the output means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
