Abstract
A still image processing method which can execute the effective flowing process is provided. In this method, when the flowing process is executed by shifting some or all of the pixels constituting a still image of one image plane in a predetermined direction, if no image information to be shifted exists at the first image position, the image information from elsewhere in the image plane is shifted to the second image position. The image information at the second image position is obtained by shifting the image information in the image plane in the direction opposite to the principal shifting direction.
