There are disclosed an image processing apparatus and method, and the like, which can obtain a high-quality image, the dynamic range or partial pixel value range of which has been changed while suppressing or avoiding collapse of the edge structure of an image or generation of overshoot. Also, there are disclosed an image processing apparatus and method, and the like, which can obtain a high-quality image, desired spatial frequency components of which have been emphasized or suppressed while suppressing or avoiding collapse of the edge structure of an edge portion contained in an objective image. For example, an image processing apparatus includes tone conversion means for executing tone conversion of an image, frequency transformation means for decomposing the image that has undergone tone conversion by the tone conversion means into frequency components of a plurality of frequency bands, and component conversion means for converting the frequency components of the plurality of frequency bands obtained by the frequency transformation means, on the basis of values of the frequency components and the tone conversion characteristics of the tone conversion means.
