Abstract
An image processing apparatus. First reducing means generates a first reduced size image by reducing an original image. Second reducing means generates a second reduced size image having a size larger than that of the first reduced size image and smaller than that of the original image by enlarging the first reduced size image. Red-eye correction means detects a red-eye position based on the second reduced size image and performs red-eye correction processing based on the detected red-eye position.
