ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus for processing original image data, having a given density range, with a predetermined manner to provide processed image data, comprising means for correcting the density range of the image data to provide density-range-corrected image data corresponding to a distribution of the density of the image data, means for filtering the image data to generate filtered image data, means for synthesizing the density-range-corrected image data provided by the correcting means and the filtered image data provided by the filtering means so as to provide synthesized image data, and means for selecting either one of the density-range-corrected image data provided by the correcting means and the synthesized image data provided by the synthesizing means, in accordance with the density range of the density-range-corrected image data, so as to provide selected image data as the processed image data.
