Claim One:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a determination unit adapted to determine a region in which a signal level for a color plane of an image data produced by an image pickup device including a plurality of color filters, corresponding to at least one of the plurality of color filters, or a signal level for a brightness plane produced from the image data exhibits a monotonic increase or a monotonic decrease in a predetermined section of the region, as a color fringing region in which color fringing occurs; an estimation unit adapted to estimate an intensity of the color fringing according to a difference in signal intensity between a plurality of color planes of the image data corresponding to the plurality of color filters in the color fringing region; and a correction unit adapted to correct the image data so as to decrease the intensity of the color fringing, based on the estimated intensity of the color fringing.
