Claim One:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an image reading section obtaining a captured image; a high luminance point detecting section detecting a high luminance point having a luminance equal to or higher than a predetermined value in the captured image; a chroma extracting section setting a first area in the captured image with the high luminance point serving as a reference point and extracting a first chroma representing a chroma of an area near the high luminance point by using color information of the first area, and setting a second area at a position more apart from the high luminance point than the first area in the captured image and extracting a second chroma representing a chroma of an area more apart from the high luminance point than the first area by using color information of the second area; and a color bleeding estimating section estimating intensity of color bleeding appearing in the captured image based on a value of the first chroma relative to the second chroma.
