Abstract: Image quality according to user preferences can be suitably reflected in an image capturing device (camera). A program causes a computer to function as an analysis-object image quality adjusting unit that generates an analysis-object image. The analysis-object image quality adjusting unit generates an adjusted analysis-object image used along with an analysis-object RAW image to decide an image quality settings parameter of a captured image acquired by an image capturing device. In this case, the adjusted analysis-object image is generated by performing image quality adjustment processing on an analysis-object RAW image that is different from an adjustment-object RAW image, on the basis of image quality adjustment information indicating an image quality adjustment value of image quality adjustment processing as to the adjustment-object RAW image.
