To provide an image processing apparatus that can reduce occurrence of an image defect caused by positional displacement between an upper layer image and a foundation image.SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus comprises: a processing unit that performs image processing in forming an upper layer image and a foundation image that is the foundation of the upper layer image superimposed on the same recording medium through a plurality of times of image formation; and a specification unit that specifies the foundation image based on input image data. The processing unit performs processing of adding an edge image having a color equivalent to the color of a background part of the upper layer image, to a portion of the upper layer image matching a contour portion of the foundation image specified by the specification unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11 【課題】上層画像と下地画像との位置ずれに起因した画像不良の発生を低減することが可能な画像処理装置を提供する。【解決手段】画像処理装置は、複数回の画像形成によって、上層画像と、上層画像の下地である下地画像とを同一の記録媒体に重ねて形成する際の画像処理を行う処理部と、入力画像データに基づいて下地画像を特定する特定部と、を備え、処理部は、上層画像における、特定部により特定された下地画像の輪郭部分と一致する部分に、上層画像の背景部の色と同等の色を有する縁画像を加える処理を行う。【選択図】図１１
