ABSTRACT:
A photograph image-processing method comprises the steps of entering a film image for reading a film image by an image pickup device and generating color image data, generating concentration histograms for each of RGB color components from the color image data, relative-stretch-processing the concentration histograms, calculating and deriving a relative stretch ratio which maximizes the RGB superimposed area which has undergone relative-stretch processing, calculating and deriving an evaluation value of reliability with respect to the relative stretch ratio, calculating and deriving a correction stretch ratio based on the evaluation value, and conversion-processing RGB components of each pixel of the color image data in accordance with the correction stretch ratio.
