An image processing system for properly correcting brightness of a subject area and a background area of a captured image. The image processing system includes an image capturing apparatus, including: an image capturing instruction unit for generating a first instruction signal and a second instruction signal for instructing a capturing of the subject; and an image pick-up unit for capturing a first image of the subject in response to the first instruction signal, and a second image of the subject in response to the second instruction signal. The image processing system also includes an image processing apparatus, including: a backlight status detector for detecting backlight status based on the first image and the second image; and a correction unit for correcting the second image when the backlight status detector detects the backlight status.

A reduced-image producing method is performed by an apparatus comprising an image reading section, an image displaying section, and an image processing section. The image reading section reads an original image, which is recorded in an image recording medium of an MO disk and so forth, via a media I/F section. The image displaying section displays the original image on a CRT. The image processing section produces a template image based on image information of the original image. The template image is composed on a reduced image produced by reducing the original image. The template image may be composed on a padding region provided at a peripheral portion of the reduced image. The reduced image produced in this way is displayed or printed as a thumbnail image.
