Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an image processing apparatus capable of properly controlling sharpness of an output image and outputting the image is provided. More specifically, the image processing apparatus comprises: a setting unit configured to set an image processing condition for performing image processing to image data of an input photographic image based on an output characteristic of an output apparatus that influences sharpness of an image output from the output apparatus; an obtaining unit configured to obtain information equivalent to a distance from a focal plane in the photographic image; and an image processing unit configured to perform image processing to the image data based on the information obtained by the obtaining unit and the image processing condition set by the setting unit.
