1. An apparatus for processing a color image, comprising:
- means for generating a pattern image based on a data signal to be embedded in the color image; and
image processing means for varying at least one of a color difference signal and a chroma signal of the color image in accordance with the pattern image while keeping a sum of three color component signals of the color image constant so that the color image includes the data signal.

Abstract
In the apparatus for processing a color image, a data signal representing another information differs from the color image is generated by a generating means. The another information is embedded into the color image by varying one of a color difference and a chroma of the color image in accordance with the data signal by an image processing means.
