PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus and image processing method that improves image quality during monochrome output by adaptively executional conversion from a color image signal into a monochrome image signal during monochrome output, and by using outputs from color and monochrome sensors at the same time, and reduces the cost of compressing a color signal by using a color sensor with a lower resolution than that of the monochrome sensor. SOLUTION: The image processing apparatus and image processing method improves image quality during monochrome output by adaptively performing conversion from the color image signal into the monochrome image signal during monochrome output, and by using outputs from color and monochrome sensors at the same time, and reduces the cost of compressing the color signal by using a color sensor with a lower resolution than that of the monochrome sensor.
