1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of adaptive processors each of which performs a different predetermined adaptive processing in accordance with an edge amount of an image signal; and
a plurality of edge amount detectors that each detect the edge amount for a corresponding one of the plurality of adaptive processors, each of the edge amount detectors configured differently so as to each detect an optimized edge amount for the corresponding adaptive processor.

Abstract
An edge amount detector detects an edge amount from RGB signals, and a filter processor synthesizes an output for edge enhancement with an output for smoothing at a proportion based on the detected edge amount. Another edge amount detector detects an edge amount of a black component from CMY signals, and an ink generator/undercolor remover changes an ink generation rate according to the detected edge amount.
