Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a gamma transforming unit that performs gamma transformation on an image signal based on a luminance component of the image signal and so as to maintain an RGB ratio of the image signal; a correction-target-value calculating unit that calculates a correction target value as a target value for performing tone correction on the luminance component of the image signal, based on a structure of RGB components contained in an image signal obtained by the gamma transforming unit through the gamma transformation; and a tone correcting unit that performs tone correction on a value of the image signal based on the luminance component of the image signal and the correction target value.
