Abstract
Based on the resolution of acquired image data and a target resolution, a first resolution higher than the resolution of the image data and closest to the resolution of the image data is decided out of divisors of the target resolution. The image data is converted into first image data having the first resolution. The first image data is processed using a filter configured to compensate for degradation in quality of an image represented by the image data, which can occur when the image data is processed. The first image data processed using the filter is converted into second image data having the target resolution.
