Abstract:
1. An image processing device comprising: a display unit that displays an image; a reduced-image creating portion that creates a reduced image from an original image; a reduced-retinex-image forming portion that calculates reflectance of each pixel in the reduced image based both on a pixel value of a subject pixel in the reduced image and on a peripheral average luminance of the subject pixel, thereby forming a reduced retinex image that is configured of reflectance of each pixel in the reduced image; a normalizing-parameter setting portion that obtains frequencies of the reflectance in the reduced retinex image and that sets an upper limit and a lower limit for normalization; a reduced-image correcting portion comprising: a preview-image displaying portion that displays the corrected reduced image on the display unit; and an original-image correcting portion comprising:
