An apparatus comprises an image acquiring unit configured to acquire the face image; a first determining unit configured to determine a representative pixel value representing a skin region, based on pixels included in the face image; a region generating unit configured to generate a first region (901) including the object; a second determining unit configured to determine correction pixels, which are one or more pixels used for the correction, out of pixels present in a vicinity of the first region (1103, 1004), based on similarity to the representative pixel value; a partial-image generating unit configured to generate a partial image, which is a collection of pixels for replacing pixels corresponding to the object, using the correction pixels; and a correcting unit configured to perform correction by combining the partial image with the face image. |
