Abstract:
1. An image-processor comprising: an acquiring unit that acquires image data and ambient light data indicating a degree of a first color temperature with respect to a second color temperature, the first color temperature representing a color temperature for a first ambient light, and the second color temperature representing a color temperature for a second ambient light, wherein a first image, which corresponds to the image data, has a particular color appearance in the first ambient light, and the first image has another color appearance in the second ambient light; and a correcting unit that corrects the image data such that the particular color appearance of the first image under the first ambient light is reproduced under the second ambient light, wherein the correcting unit corrects the image data based on the ambient light data such that an image corresponding to the corrected image data becomes brighter when the second color temperature is greater than the first color temperature and a brightness of the image corresponding to the corrected image data increases as a difference between the first color temperature and the second color temperature increases, and such that the image corresponding to the corrected image data becomes darker when the second color temperature is less than the first color temperature and a darkness of the image corresponding to the corrected image data increases as the difference between the first color temperature and the second color temperature increases.
