Abstract

See full text

An image processing apparatus comprises: an obtainment unit configured to obtain an image captured in accompaniment of an emission of a predetermined light source; a setting unit configured to set a virtual light source to be applied to the image based on a characteristic of the predetermined light source; and a generation unit configured to generate an image for which a shading state of at least one of a plurality of subjects included in the image is changed due to the virtual light source, wherein the setting unit is configured to set the virtual light source so that a difference between a change of a shading state in a first subject due to the predetermined light source and a change in the shading state in a second subject due to the predetermined light source is reduced.
