Abstract

An image processing method according to the present invention cuts out partial images corresponding to trimming regions, which is specified for multiple viewpoint images of a stereoscopic image obtained by pupil-division-scheme imaging, from the respective viewpoint images, generates a stereoscopic partial image including multiple partial images, generates parallax information that indicates the parallax between the partial images, adjusts the parallax between the partial images based on the parallax information, and then, for the partial images after the parallax adjustment, enhances the sharpness as the adjusted parallax amount decreases and reduces the sharpness as the adjusted parallax amount increases.
