Abstract
An image processing apparatus obtains an input image acquired by image capturing, and classifies the input image into a main subject region and a background region. The image processing apparatus determines virtual image capturing conditions corresponding to an output image to be generated, based on the positional relationship between a main subject and a background subject in an image capturing environment when the input image was captured. The image processing apparatus deforms, of the input image, an image classified into the background region, and generates a background image of the output image that corresponds to the determined virtual image capturing conditions. The image processing apparatus composes, of the input image, an image classified into the main subject region and the background image, thereby generating the output image.
