Abstract
A first tone correction unit generates a second image signal by applying, to a first image signal, first tone correction processing conforming to a first tone correction characteristic. A second tone correction unit generates a fourth image signal by applying, to a third image signal, second tone correction processing conforming to a second tone correction characteristic. A generation unit generates a fifth image signal by compositing a luminance component of the second image signal and a color difference component of the fourth image signal. A first tone conversion unit generates a sixth image signal by applying, to the fifth image signal, first tone conversion processing conforming to a non-linear first tone conversion characteristic. The second tone correction characteristic is determined based on the first tone correction characteristic and a non-linear second tone conversion characteristic.
