Abstract
The present invention relates to an image correction apparatus and an image pickup apparatus for detecting a particular eye-related defect, such as red-eyes and gold-eyes, in an image, and correcting the detected defect. The present invention provides an image correction apparatus and an image pickup apparatus enabling a particular eye-related defect, such as a red-eye portion or a gold-eye portion, in an image to be easily confirmed. The number of positions in an image at which a particular eye-related defect, such as a red-eye portion and a gold-eye portion, has been detected is displayed together with an image including the positions. By displaying the number of positions at which a defect has been detected, the number of unconfirmed positions can be easily recognized and the defect of overlooking the unconfirmed positions can be prevented.
