  • Patent number: 11283938
    Abstract: A first communication apparatus includes a communication unit configured to communicate with a second communication apparatus, an image processing unit, and a control unit. The control unit generates the first image data from the RAW image data received from the second communication apparatus. In a case where the control unit determines that a performance of the second communication apparatus is equal to or higher than a predetermined performance, the control unit transmits the first image data to the second communication apparatus. In a case where the control unit determines that a performance of the second communication apparatus is lower than the predetermined performance, the control unit generates the second image data from the first image data, and transmits the generated second image data to the second communication apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10567722
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus can acquire a plurality of pieces of visual point image data having different visual points from an imaging element having a pupil division pixel, and perform a gradation process on an image. When there are a plurality of types of high-brightness-side gradation distributions which can be reflected at a developing time, the image processing apparatus displays a user interface screen on a display unit and displays a histogram representing brightness of an image for each high brightness gradation improvement method. An area in which high brightness gradation is adjustable is displayed on a displayed image to be distinguished for each of the high brightness gradation improvement methods and for each setting condition.

  • Patent number: 9626782
    Abstract: This invention can develop a part of RAW image data and display the developed part of RAW image data with a result of processing, even if the part of the RAW image data refers to other part of the RAW image data. An image processing apparatus obtains an output area of RAW image data to be displayed on a window and a reference area of RAW image data to be pasted to the output area of the RAW image data. The apparatus develops the output area of the RAW image data and the reference area of the RAW image data. Then, the apparatus pastes a development result of the reference area of the RAW image data on a development result of the output area of the RAW image data. After that, the apparatus executes display processing to the development result of the output area of the RAW image data.
