1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a transfer portion configured to, upon receiving a supply of a predetermined transfer current, transfer a toner image formed on an image-carrying member to a transfer object;
a transfer processing portion configured to transfer a predetermined detection toner image to outside an output area of the transfer object to which the toner image as an output target is transferred from the image-carrying member;
a detection processing portion configured to detect a density of the detection toner image that has been transferred to the transfer object by the transfer processing portion;
a correction processing portion configured to correct a detection result of the detection processing portion based on an amount of toner transferred from the image-carrying member to the output area at a transfer timing when the transfer processing portion transfers the detection toner image; and
an adjustment processing portion configured to adjust an image forming condition based on the detection result after correction by the correction processing portion.
