Abstract:
An image processing method, comprising the steps of:obtaining an input image data from an image recorded optically with a taking lens;displaying a reproduced image of said image based on the thus obtained input image data on a monitor or outputting it as a hardcopy;designating whether correction of image quality deterioration is performed or not based on said reproduced image either displayed on the monitor or reproduced as the hardcopy;performing, when the correction of said image quality deterioration is performed in accordance with the designation of this performance, at least once a sequential process of said image quality deterioration including the steps of:designating a correction intensity of said image quality deterioration in accordance with said reproduced image either displayed on said monitor or reproduced as said hardcopy;performing the correction of said image quality deterioration with the correction intensity on said input image date; as well asdisplaying the corrected reproduced image after the correction of said image quality deterioration is performed on said monitor or outputting it as said hardcopy; therebyestablishing appropriately the correction intensity; andperforming the correction of said image quality deterioration on said input image data based on the thus established correction intensity to obtain output image data.
