Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program that permit acquisition of a more natural-looking synthesized image. A first captured image depicting a first subject is separated into a foreground area and a background area. The first subject appears in the foreground area. The background area is an area other than the area where the first subject appears. Also, a blended image is generated to be displayed on a live view, in which the blended image is obtained by blending the foreground area and the background area of the first captured image with an output image that is output when a second subject is captured. Then, a synthesized image is generated by superimposing the foreground area of the first captured image on the second captured image depicting the second subject with reference to the blended image in such a manner that the backgrounds are substantially identical. The present technology is applicable, for example, to an imaging apparatus.
