Image processing apparatus using conversion means

摘要

An image processing apparatus comprises an image data generator and a characteristic converter for converting a characteristic of the image data generated by the image data generator. The characteristic converter includes a table for converting the image data in a first mode and a second table for converting in a second mode. The first and second tables are selectively used in recording one image. Data generator for generating data to be stored in the first and second conversion tables has a reference characteristic conversion table to be used as a base in generating the data.
