Abstract
An image processing program causes a computer to execute the following steps. A first step reads data of a first image and data of a second image which are generated by imaging a common object under natural light and have different contents of specular reflection components. A second step generates an output image which gives a different visual impression of the object than the first image and the second image, based on difference data of the specular reflection components extracted from the first image and the second image.
