Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a first nonlinearization unit adapted to perform nonlinear conversion of a signal that has been generated from image data to determine luminance with a first nonlinear characteristic; a second nonlinearization unit adapted to perform nonlinear conversion of a signal that has been generated from the image data to determine saturation with a second nonlinear characteristic; and a control unit adapted to: set the first nonlinear characteristic and the second nonlinear characteristic to said first nonlinearization unit and said second nonlinearization unit, respectively; set a predetermined output ratio of the first nonlinear characteristic to the second nonlinear characteristic; and select, upon setting the first nonlinear characteristic to said first nonlinearization unit, the second nonlinear characteristic to be set to said second nonlinearization unit satisfying the predetermined output ratio.
