Abstract

In order to enable satisfactory image processing according to a characteristic of an original image, image data representing an original image is input; it is judged whether or not the value of a saturation component of the image data is larger than a predetermined value; if the value of the saturation component of the image data is larger than the predetermined value, a histogram of the original image is formed except the image data; a color processing condition is set on the basis of the formed histogram; and color processing is performed to the original image on the basis of the set color processing condition.
