Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire an image signal, a generating unit configured to perform enhancement processing on the image signal to generate a first image and a second image, a synthesizing unit configured to generate a synthetic image with the first image used in a region having a first brightness and the second image used in a region having a second brightness lower than the first brightness, and a recording unit configured to record the synthetic image on a recording medium, the generating unit being configured to perform the enhancement processing such that the second image is more enhanced than the first image.
