Abstract
Which types of subject among a predetermined plurality of types of subject are contained in an image represented by input image data are detected. Features regarding the detected subject types are calculated in a feature calculating circuit based upon the image data. In accordance with the features calculated, the gain for every subject type is calculated. The gains are weighted and averaged using degrees of importance that have been input for every subject type. The input image data is corrected based upon applicable gains obtained by the weighted averaging.
