Abstract:
1. An image sensing apparatus, comprising: synthesis target information storage means for storing, in a storage device, data representing a synthesis target image of a foreground subject and for separately storing, also in the storage device, photographic conditions prevailing at a time of photography of the synthesis target image; image sensing means for photographing background and outputting data representing a background image; image adjustment processing means for applying image adjustment processing for at least one of a color adjustment and a luminance adjustment to the synthesis target image represented by the synthesis target image data, which has been stored in the storage device by the synthesis target information storage means, based upon the photographic conditions of the synthesis target image that have been stored in the storage device by the synthesis target information storage means and photographic conditions of the background image sensed by the image sensing means; and image synthesis means for combining the synthesis target image data that has been subjected to the image adjustment processing by the image adjustment processing means with the background image data output from the image sensing means, and outputting composite image data representing a composite image.
