1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit that stores therein first image data for generating a first preview image;
a setting value receiving unit that receives a setting value for outputting target image data;
a first displaying unit that displays the first preview image generated based on the first image data and the setting value, wherein the first preview image is capable of being displayed before receiving the target image data for output at the image processing apparatus;
an image input unit that receives second image data as the target image data; and
a second displaying unit that displays a second preview image generated based on the second image data and a setting value;
wherein when the first preview image is displayed by the first displaying unit, the first preview image is generated based on the first image data and only a setting value of a first setting item, the first setting item being one of a plurality of setting items; and
when the second preview image is displayed by the second displaying unit, the second displaying unit displays the second preview image generated based on the second image data and a setting value of the first setting item and a second setting item, the second setting item being different from the first setting item, and the second setting item being one of the plurality of setting items.
