Aspects of the invention relate to a method of processing images capable of performing natural saturation enhancement having a balance between color components with a small amount of calculation is provided. The image processing device may be arranged in an image display device or may be a device for providing display image data to the external image display device to perform the saturation enhancement of the input image data. Specifically, saturation information can be extracted from the input image data to determine a saturation enhancement amount. In addition, a color component to which the saturation enhancement is performed can be extracted from the input image data. Further, based on the determined saturation enhancement amount, the saturation enhancement for each color component can be performed. Here, for the predetermined color component, the saturation is enhanced after the saturation enhancement amount is adjusted. The color component included in the input image data may be, for example, Cb and Cr in the YCbCr color space. The saturation enhancement amount is adjusted to the predetermined color component. Therefore, the color balance of the image data after the saturation can be properly adjusted and the natural image data can be obtained.
