Abstract
A control method for an image processing apparatus includes setting a virtual light source, analyzing characteristics of a partial region of a subject in an input image acquired through image capturing, smoothing at least a portion of the input image on the basis of information about a result of the analysis, generating, on the basis of the smoothed input image, reflected color components in a case where the subject is irradiated with light from the virtual light source, and performing correction based on the reflected color components on the input image.
