In the case of combining images subjected to lighting from a plurality of directions, a manual control such as light quantity control is needed and is therefore troublesome. The present invention includes an input unit receiving a first image obtained by shooting a subject with light applied thereto from a first lighting device in a diagonal direction, the input unit receiving a second image obtained by shooting the subject with light applied thereto from a second lighting device in an opposite diagonal direction, the input unit accepting information on the subject and a shooting device; a blend pattern generating unit calculating and finding, based on the accepted information, a ratio Z for determining a proportion in combining of the first image and the second image for each pixel; an image blending unit obtaining a third image combined by adding the first image multiplied by the ratio Z and the second image multiplied by 1-Z for each pixel; and an output unit outputting the third image. |
