An image processing apparatus having individual image processing programs, the apparatus includes mechanisms of image processing, function enhancement, and enhancement control. The image processing mechanism having hardware resources performing individual image processing operations in collaboration with the individual image processing programs. The function enhancing mechanism adds a new individual image processing program and/or upgrade of an existing individual image processing program. The enhancement control mechanism determines whether the image processing mechanism includes a hardware resource corresponding to the new individual image processing program or the existing individual image processing program when the function enhancing mechanism performs such addition and/or upgrade.
