摘要：

An information processing apparatus include a priority information assigning unit configured to assign priority information indicating priority between a first area and a second area of a recording medium in an overlapping area of the areas to at least one of gloss-control plane data and clear plane data. The gloss-control plane data is used for specifying the first area to which a surface effect is to be applied and specifying a density value corresponding to a type of the surface effect. The clear plane data is used for specifying the second area in which a transparent image is to be formed and specifying a density value of the transparent image. The apparatus also includes a clear toner plane generating unit configured to generate clear toner plane clear toner plane data based on the gloss-control plane data and the clear plane data.
