Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes the following elements. A playback-position feature value extracting unit extracts, as a playback-position feature value, a feature value at a playback position from an image being played back. A synchronizing unit synchronizes the playback-position feature value with a feature value on a data recording medium on which setting information for processing the image is recorded in association with a feature value of the image.
