ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus which corrects input image data based on the image data and foreign substance information including information associated with a position and a size of a foreign substance adhering near an image sensor in an image capturing apparatus which has captured the image data includes a correction unit which corrects the image data based on the image data and the foreign substance information so as to reduce an influence of a shadow of the foreign substance reflected in the image data, a determination unit which determines whether an aperture value set when the image capturing apparatus has captured the image data satisfies a predetermined condition, and a control units which inhibits the correction unit from correcting the image data when the determination unit determines that the aperture value satisfies the predetermined condition.
