Abstract
An image processing method for image-processing digital image data acquired by a digital camera to enable reproduction of high-quality images includes the steps of computing first characteristic values characterizing colors of an image represented by digital image data, normalizing the digital image data based on the first characteristic values to produce normalized image data, computing from the normalized image data a second characteristic value characterizing density of the image represented by the digital image data, and correcting the normalized image data based on the second characteristic value to produce processed image data. Also provided is an image processing system for carrying out the method.
