Image processor
First Claim
1. An image processor comprising:
- means for performing aberration correction processing for correcting aberration due to a photographic lens on input image data obtained from an image optically photographed through the photographic lens of a camera; and
means for performing predetermined image processing on the input image data so as to obtain output image data,wherein the predetermined image processing is performed after the aberration correction processing; and
wherein, in the case where the predetermined image processing is processing requiring an approximate position to be specified in advance so as to perform the image processing, the predetermined image processing is performed in any one of two ways;
the approximate position is specified in consideration of a shift of a specified position due to the aberration correction processing, and the aberration correction processing is performed, after which the predetermined image processing is performed; and
the aberration correction processing is performed on the image data, and the approximate position is specified to the image data which has been subjected to the aberration correction processing, after which the predetermined image processing is performed.

Abstract
The image processor performs aberration correction processing for correcting aberration due to a photographic lens on input image data obtained from an image optically photographed through the photographic lens of a camera and predetermined image processing on the input image data so as to obtain output image data. The predetermined image processing is performed after the aberration correction processing. Alternatively, The predetermined image processing is performed prior to the aberration correction processing. As a result, the image processor is capable of correcting the aberration due to the lens which degrades the quality of a print without causing any inconvenience, thereby obtaining a high-quality image.
