Abstract
An image processing method for creating a reproduced image by executing image processing on digital image data obtained by a digital camera. This method determines first a density conversion condition for the digital image, determines next a gradation conversion condition for the image on the basis of the density conversion condition, modifies the digital image on the basis of at least one of the density and the gradation conversion conditions, and thus creates the reproduced image. The method may initially separate the digital image data into density component data and color component data, determine the density and gradation conversion conditions by using the density component data instead of the digital image data, modify the density component data in accordance with the density and gradation conversion conditions and synthesize the modified density component data with the color component data.
