Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to function as an adjustment unit configured to adjust a color of an input image based on a correction level defining a degree to which the color of the input image is to be corrected, a calculation unit configured to calculate a first white balance control value based on the input image, an evaluation unit configured to evaluate whether the first white balance control value is valid, and a setting unit configured to set a second white balance control value based on an evaluation result by the evaluation unit, wherein the evaluation unit determines an evaluation criterion for evaluating whether the first white balance control value is valid based on the correction level determined by the adjustment unit.
