IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a display section adapted to display a color image;
a storage section adapted to store therein color image data;
a first preview control section operable to cause said display section to display a color image based on the color image data stored in said storage section, in the form of a preview image;
a character-area extraction section operable to extract a character area from the color image data stored in said storage section;
a color-designation acceptance section operable to accept a setting of a designated color which is a color to be newly set in the character area extracted by said character-area extraction section;
a second preview control section operable to change a color of the character area extracted by said character-area extraction section and included in said preview image, to the designated color accepted by said color-designation acceptance section, and cause said display section to display said changed preview image;
a decision-instruction acceptance section operable to accept a decision instruction indicative of a decision to set the designated color; and
a color-change processing section operable, in response to acceptance of said decision instruction by said decision-instruction acceptance section, to change color information representing a color of the color image data stored in said storage section, in such a manner as to allow the color of the character area extracted by said character-area extraction section to be changed to the designated color accepted by said color-designation acceptance section.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus has a display to display color images and a storage to store color image data. A first preview controller causes the display to display a color preview image based on stored color image data. A character-area extractor extracts a character area from the stored color image data and a color-designation acceptor accepts a designated color newly set in the extracted character area. A second preview controller changes a color of the extracted character area extracted in the preview image to the accepted designated color, and causes a display of the changed preview image. A decision-instruction acceptor accepts an instruction to set the designated color. A color-change processor responds to the accepted instruction by the decision-instruction acceptor to change information representing a color of the stored color image data to allow the color of the extracted character area to be changed to the accepted designated color.
