An image processing apparatus capable of properly correcting an image
component corresponding to non-image-forming light and generated in image
data or the like obtained when an object having high luminance is taking.
The image processing apparatus processes image data including a first
image component corresponding to image-forming light and a second image
component corresponding to non-image-forming light. The image processing
apparatus comprises an image-taking section which obtains the image data
and a correction section which performs a correction processing for the
image data so as to reduce the visibility of the second image component.
The correction section performs a color conversion processing as the
correction processing.
