Zusammenfassung:	An image reading method and apparatus enable a high-speed, efficient reading of a multicolor image and a monochromatic image. The image reading apparatus has a color image pickup unit, a first light source and a second light source. An output switching unit selectively switches to either a first output state, where plural kinds of read information from the color image pickup unit are all output as a result of an image reading, or a second output state, where only one kind of read information among the plural kinds of read information from the color image pickup unit is selected to be output as a result of an image reading. A lighting control unit controls lighting conditions of the first light source and the second light source. A switching control unit controls a switching condition of the output switching unit.
