PRINT PROCESSING SYSTEM AND IMAGE MANAGEMENT DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform print processing efficiently even if a plurality of image forming apparatuses having different image processing capabilities are connected with a network. SOLUTION: An image control device 2 creating image data for printing by performing image processing on inputted image data, and a photography processing device 1 to which the inputted image data are transferred and subjected to image processing to create image data for printing are connected through a network. The image control device 2 comprises: a destination determination means 24 for determining a photography processing device 1 which should perform printing processing; a means for determining image processing to be performed at a first image processing section and image processing to be performed at a second image processing section, and a means for transferring image data under processing subjected to image processing in the first image processing section to a determined image forming apparatus, based on the determination result, wherein the image forming apparatus creates image data for printing by performing the remaining image processing on the image data under processing.
