1. An image processing method for processing electronic data of an input image, comprising:

  • a signal separation step of separating the electronic data into a brightness component and a color difference component;

    an edge amount calculation step of calculating the brightness component edge amount and the color difference component edge amount for each of the brightness component and the color difference component provided at said signal separation step;

    a maximum edge amount selection step of selecting the maximum edge amount from among the brightness component and the color difference component calculated at said edge amount calculation step;

    an edge information calculation step of calculating edge information of the component corresponding to the maximum edge amount based on the maximum edge amount selected at said maximum edge amount selection step; and

    an electronic data processing step of processing the electronic data based on the edge information calculated at said edge information calculation step.
