Abstract
An apparatus and a method for contrast adjustment are provided which require a reduced amount of information for the contrast adjustment. A preliminary adjustment factor is first calculated on the basis of a contrast adjustment factor, and then input image data is processed on the basis of these two adjustment factors to provide contrast-adjusted image data. For example, the inclination of a contrast adjustment line is defined by the contrast adjustment factor, and a shift amount (intercept) of the contrast adjustment line is defined by the preliminary adjustment factor which is properly determined in correspondence with the contrast adjustment factor. Thus, not only the contrast of an image but also the density of the overall image can be properly adjusted simply by specifying a single adjustment factor.
