| 1. An output apparatus that converts unreproducible colors into reproducible colors among colors included in an image to output
the image, the output apparatus comprising:
a color unreproducible region extracting unit operable to extract a color unreproducible region that is a region including
a color capable of not being reproduced by the output apparatus among the colors included in the image;
a first color converting unit operable to convert a color of the color unreproducible region into a color capable of being
reproduced by the output apparatus; and
a second color converting unit operable to convert colors of regions besides the color unreproducible region based on positional
relationship in the image between the color unreproducible region and the regions besides the color unreproducible region,
wherein said second color converting unit converts the colors of the regions besides the color unreproducible region based
on the distance in the image to the color unreproducible region.
