Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a combining unit configured to combine a visible light image obtained by capturing visible light from an object and a radiation image obtained by capturing a radiation ray that has passed through the object, and an image processing unit configured to change a proportion between the visible light image and the radiation image to be combined by the combining unit such that the proportion differs between combinations in a peripheral region and a central region.
