To suppress the reduction in the image quality and productivity by performing the proper correction processing on the secular change of the density unevenness.SOLUTION: An image processing device for generating image data for recording in a recording device having recording means including a plurality of nozzles discharging ink comprises: holding means which holds characteristic information according to the characteristics of each nozzle in the recording means; conversion means which converts image data corresponding to the input printing job into image data for recording in the recording means on the basis of the characteristic information; and control means which executes any of plural pieces of correction processing on the basis of the image data obtained by reading the image recorded in the recording means. The plural pieces of correction processing include the first correction processing performed by stopping the recording of the image according to the printing job and the second correction processing performed without stopping the recording of the image according to the printing job.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 濃度ムラの経時変化に対し、適切な補正処理をおこなうことで画質と生産性の低下を抑制する。【解決手段】インクを吐出する複数のノズルを含む記録手段を有する記録装置における記録用の画像データを生成する画像処理装置であって、前記記録手段が有する各ノズルの特性に応じた特性情報を保持する保持手段と、前記特性情報に基づいて、入力された印刷ジョブに対応する画像データを前記記録手段で記録するための画像データに変換する変換手段と、前記記録手段で記録された画像を読み取って得た画像データに基づいて、複数の補正処理のいずれかを実行する制御手段とを有する。ここで、複数の補正処理には、前記印刷ジョブに応じた画像の記録を止めて行う第１の補正処理、前記印刷ジョブに応じた画像の記録を止めずに行う第２の補正処理が含まれる。【選択図】 図１
