PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a processor which performs image processing corresponding to an imaging region on images of a region outside a body cavity as well as of a region inside the body cavity. SOLUTION: In the processor which converts color image signals acquired by an electronic endoscope to image signals suitable for a display device by an image processing means, the processor includes the image processing means, a selecting means which has at least one kind of mode of observing inside the body cavity relating to the observations of regions inside the body cavity of a subject and at least one kind of mode of observing outside the body cavity relating to the observations of regions outside the body cavity of the subject and selects one kind for each observation mode, a retaining means for retaining a reference value for image processing corresponding to each observation mode, and a control means which reads the reference value corresponding to the observation mode selected by the selecting means and controls to set the image processing means. The image processing means is configured to perform the prescribed image processing on captured images from the electronic endoscope based on the reference value set by the control means.
