- 14. An apparatus according to claim 12, wherein said process means comprises recording means for recording an image on the basis of the image data.
- 15. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- reader means for reading an image and generating image data corresponding thereto;
- first moving means for moving a reading position of said reader means in a main scanning direction;
- second moving means for moving the reading position of said reader means in a sub-scanning direction;
- setting means for setting a desired operation mode;
- designating means for designating movement of the reading position of said reader means to a desired position;
- control means for controlling said first and second moving means to cause, if a first mode has been set by said setting means, the reading position of said reader means to be moved a plurality of times in the main scanning direction, and also to be moved in the sub-scanning direction every time the reading position is moved in the main scanning direction, so that said reader means can read all over the area of the image, and to cause, if a second mode has been set by said setting means, the reading position of said reader means to be moved to the desired position in accordance with the designation of said designating means, so that said reader means can read the image at the desired position; and
- recognizing means for recognizing color balance information of a color image of the image at the desired position based on image data generated by said reader means in the second mode.
- 16. An apparatus according to claim 15, wherein said designating means designates a moving direction of the reading position of said reader means.
- 17. An apparatus according to claim 15, further comprising display means for displaying the color information recognized by said recognizing means.
- 18. An apparatus according to claim 15, further comprising process means for processing the image data generated by said reader means.
- 19. An apparatus according to claim 15, wherein said recognizing means recognizes image color components.
- 20. An apparatus according to claim 15, wherein said reader means comprises a linear image sensor for reading the image line by line.
