Abstract
The image processing apparatus includes a first generation unit that generates a color signal component for a luminance signal, a second generation unit that generates a color signal component for a chrominance signal, a first tone conversion unit that performs a first tone conversion, a second tone conversion unit that performs a second tone conversion, a third generation unit that generates a color signal component used in common, and a third tone conversion unit that performs a third tone conversion on a signal after being processed by the third generation unit. The first and second tone conversion units perform tone conversion using a conversion amount smaller than a conversion amount that matches the target curve, and the third tone conversion unit performs tone conversion using a conversion amount corresponding to a difference from the target curve.
