Abstract
An image processing apparatus and method in which proper image processing conditions can be realized by simple operation, even in cases in which it is difficult to automatically obtain proper image processing conditions. A film image recorded on a photographic film is read, and is analyzed based on the image data obtained by reading. Processing conditions for various types of image processings for the image data are calculated. In a process of verifying the calculated processing conditions, if an operator designates correction of density or color balance, the image data is corrected in accordance with the designated correction, the image is reanalyzed based on corrected image data, and processing conditions for image processing, e.g., hyper gradation processing, are recalculated automatically.
