Abstract
An image-processing device includes: an obtaining unit that obtains image data; an area extraction unit that extracts an area having a color falling within a predetermined range of a color within a color space, in an image represented by the obtained image data; an effect extraction unit that extracts an effect applied to the image represented by the obtained image data; an effect data obtaining unit that if a type of the extracted effect is included in predetermined plural types of effect, obtains effect data representing a type of effect selected from among the predetermined plural types of effect, excluding a type of the extracted effect; and a generating unit that generates image data representing an image in which an effect of the type represented by the obtained effect data is applied to the area extracted by the area extraction unit.
