Patent ID: 8564860

Claim:
An image processor comprising: an identifying unit that identifies an identified white point value of an image represented by first image data, the identified white point value indicating a first color temperature; a target obtaining unit that obtains a target white point value indicating a second color temperature; a first correcting unit that performs a white balance correction on the first image data such that the identified white point value approaches the target white point value; and a second correcting unit that performs a brightness correction in which the first image data corrected by the first correcting unit is corrected to become second image data, such that: an image corresponding to the second image data becomes brighter than the image represented by the first image data by performing the brightness correction, in addition to the white balance correction by the first correcting unit, in response to the second color temperature of the target white point value of the second image data, which is the first image data corrected by the first correcting unit and the second correcting unit, being greater than the first color temperature of the identified white point value of the first image data before the white balance correction and the brightness correction; and the image corresponding to the second image data becomes darker than the image represented by the first image data by performing the brightness correction, in addition to the white balance correction by the first correcting unit, in response to the second color temperature of the target white point value of the second image data, which is the first image data corrected by the first correcting unit and the second correcting unit, being less than the first color temperature of the identified white point value of the first image data before the white balance correction and the brightness correction.
