The present invention provides an image processing technique capable of determining input image data obtained by a digital camera and generating output image data which can be visually outputted with equivalent tone and color characteristics even from a different output device from the input image data in consideration of tone characteristics. An application AP stored in a storing unit 15 is loaded into a memory 10b, and a control unit 10 is activated as an image processing apparatus. After that, when input image data is inputted from any one of a digital camera 3, a storing medium 4a and a scanner 5 to the control unit 10 via an input/output I/F 21, in the case where it is determined that a device which has obtained the input image data is the digital camera on the basis of predetermined input information such as information accompanying the input image data or information inputted by the user, the input image data is transformed to lightness and chromaticity information and tone transformation for enhancing the contrast of a lightness range from shadow to middle tone is performed without changing lightness, thereby generating output image data.
