Claim:
1. An image processing device comprising: a white balance correcting section multiplying each color component of image data by a white balance gain for the color component to perform white balance correction; a color difference calculating section calculating color difference components of the image data after the white balance correction, for each pixel; a color difference correcting section performing color difference correction processing for reducing the color difference components for a processing target pixel when all the color difference components of the processing target pixel are within a predetermined color difference correction range; a color difference correction range setting section setting the color difference correction range wider as the white balance gain is larger and narrower as the white balance gain is smaller; and a bit precision converting section converting bit precision of the image data to bits-to-be-processed precision of the color difference correcting section at a stage preceding the color difference correcting section.
