ABSTRACT:
It is desired to easily and effectively correct hue and saturation in a predetermined region, for an image which cannot be desirably corrected by conversion of the brightness or colors of the entire image. To this end, an image is loaded onto a RAM, and the contrast and color balance of the input image are corrected. A predetermined region is extracted from the corrected image, and it is checked if a predetermined region is set. If the predetermined region is set, a color correction process of the predetermined region is executed.
