Abstract
To provide an image processing apparatus capable of obtaining a good-quality image even if an unexpected aberration occurs and an image pickup apparatus using the same. An image processing apparatus includes a primary restored image generating module configured to generate a primary restored image by performing image restoration processing on an input image having a plurality of color components, a restoration component generating module configured to generate difference information for each of the plurality of color components by calculating a difference between the input image and the primary restored image, and a secondary restored image generating module configured to generate a secondary restored image using the difference information. The secondary restored image generating module combines a color-combination restoration component based on the difference information for the plurality of color components with one color component of the input image.
