An image reading method for forming an image on a transmission original irradiated with visible light and infrared light by an image forming optical system and reading the image by reading means, comprising an image forming magnification correction step of correcting a difference between the image forming magnification of a visible-light image and the image forming magnification of an infrared-light image by the image forming optical system, so that the image reading apparatus can be miniaturized and simplified and defects such as foreign matters and flaws on the original can adequately be corrected.
