摘要

An image processing apparatus includes an image partitions manipulating unit that manipulates image partitions of encoded image information, each image partition containing plural values of pixels; a decoding unit that decodes the image information manipulated by the image partitions manipulating unit; and a pixels manipulating unit that manipulates pixels of the image information decoded by the decoding unit, partitioning an image into partitions which are manipulated by the image partitions manipulating unit being changed according to what manipulation is to be performed by the pixels manipulating unit.
