To compress a dynamic range of an input image based on a relative value indicating a difference between a luminance value indicating a level value of a correction target pixel in the input image and a luminance value indicating a level value of a smoothed pixel obtained by smoothing a neighboring pixel of the correction target pixel, an image processing apparatus generates a reduced image by reducing the input image, generates a smoothed image from the generated reduced image by smoothing the reduced image while keeping an edge portion thereof, generates an enlarged image by enlarging the generated smoothed image to the size of the original input image, and generates an output image by compressing the dynamic range of the input image, based on relative values between the generated enlarged image and the input image.
