An image processing apparatus comprises a compression coding unit that performs compression coding of image data according to JPEG2000 algorithm. A coding style selection unit selectively activates coding functions of the compression coding unit in response to a discriminating signal, so that the active coding functions of the compression coding unit are suited to characteristics of the image data.
