Abstract
In an image reproduction apparatus for converting an image into an image signal that can be visibly output, and performing image reproduction processing for the image signal, at least two image signals are selected and designated from a plurality of image signals picked up by image pickup means, and predetermined information (e.g., light source information such as the color temperature, the chromaticity of a light source, or the like) is extracted by analyzing the selected and designated image signals. The image reproduction parameters used in the image reproduction processing are determined on the basis of the extracted information. In this case, the parameters are corrected by repeating the processing the number of times corresponding to the number of selected and designated image signals, thereby finally determining the image reproduction parameters.
