An information processing apparatus specifies an area wherein a tint block
image is applied, or an area wherein a tint block is not applied. A user
selects either an application mode or a non-application mode in an area
2250 to specify a tint block application area or a tint block
non-application area, and selects, in an area 2251, a shape for a tint
block application area or a tint block non-application area. Then, the
user employs, for example, a mouse to adjust the size and the location of
the selected figure, and specifies the tint block application area or the
tint block non-application area. The printer driver employs the selected
area information to generate tint block application/non-application area
information, and employs this information to create tint block image data
while taking into account the area.
