Abstract
In an image processing apparatus, a face detection unit detects a face area from an input image, and an image processing unit extracts a high luminance area from the face area to generate a correction amount of the high luminance area and corrects the high luminance area using the correction amount. Then, in a case where a plurality of face areas is detected, the image processing unit adjusts the correction amount based on feature information of the plurality of face areas.
