A first image processing device uses image data, and image generation
information that is associated with the image data and that includes at
least aperture information, operating mode information, and lens focal
length information at the time of generation of the image data, to
perform sharpness adjustment of the image data on the basis of the
aperture information, the operating mode information, and lens focal
length information included in the image generation information. A second
image processing device analyzes image data to obtain a sharpness
characteristic value indicating a characteristic relating to sharpness of
the image represented by the image data; and uses image data, and image
generation information that is associated with the image data and that
includes at least aperture information and operating mode information, to
perform sharpness adjustment of the image data on the basis of the
sharpness characteristic value, together with the aperture information
and the operating mode information included in the image generation
information.
