Abstract
An apparatus includes a map obtaining unit configured to obtain image evaluation value distribution corresponding to an image as an image evaluation value map, a map generation unit configured to generate a first subject region map including a subject region extracted from the image using the image evaluation value map, and a processing unit configured to perform correction processing on the image using at least any one of the first subject region map and a second subject region map generated without using the image evaluation value map, wherein the processing unit calculates a difference between the first subject region map and the second subject region map and performs correction processing on the image using the second subject region map more than the first subject region map as the difference is higher.
