1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:

  • a display screen; and

    circuitry configured to;

    control the display screen to display a frame and a long-exposure image of a plurality of consecutively-photographed images;

    determine a movement direction of an object in the long-exposure image based on the displayed frame;

    extract image gradient information of the long-exposure image, wherein the image gradient information indicates image gradient components in the movement direction of the object in the long-exposure image;

    generate a first synthesis mask based on the extracted image gradient information, wherein the plurality of consecutively-photographed images have different exposure times;

    synthesize the plurality of consecutively-photographed images based on the generated first synthesis mask;

    generate an output image based on the synthesis of the plurality of the consecutively-photographed images; and
