<p>According to the present invention, there is provided an image processing method that performs a tone correction to obtain a combined image with suitable brightness and contrast when a plurality of image data pieces is combined, and an image processing apparatus that can execute the method. The image processing method includes detecting brightness distribution for each of the plurality of image data pieces, calculating a characteristic amount of each brightness distribution from the brightness distribution, and acquiring a correction amount for a tone correction executed to the combined image data based on the obtained characteristic amount of the brightness distribution.</p> |
