Abstract

This application relates to the field of image processing, and provides an image processing method and an electronic device. The electronic device captures a first image—that is an image captured by a camera lens. The first image includes a first shot object and a second shot object. The electronic device determines a first scene corresponding to the first shot object and a second scene corresponding to the second shot object. The electronic device determines a first LUT based on the first scene, and determines a second LUT based on the second scene. The electronic device processes the first image based on the first LUT to obtain a second image, and processes the first image based on the second LUT to obtain a third image. The electronic device displays a fourth image. The fourth image includes a part of the second image and a part of the third image.
