ABSTRACT:
In an image processing method, a tone of a target pixel and tones of peripheral pixels around the target pixel are detected. Also, a tone difference between the target pixel and each peripheral pixel is detected. Then, smoothing processing is executed upon image data of the target pixel, based on the tone differences between the target pixel and the peripheral pixels, in such a way as to reduce a change of the tone of the target pixel.
