Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor generating original image data; an image processor performing image processing to generate image data; a storage storing a plurality of first parameter sets and at least one second parameter set; and a user interface receiving a user operation combining a first parameter set with a second parameter set. Each of the plurality of first parameter sets defines the effect in the image processing. Each of the at least one second parameter set defines a correspondence before and after color information in an image is converted. Based on the user operation, the image processor: adjusts an image indicated by the original image data, using the first parameter set included in the combination designated by the user operation; and converts color information included in the image adjusted by the first parameter set, using the second parameter set included in the designated combination.

Claims (25)

1. An imaging apparatus comprising:

an image sensor configured to capture a subject image to generate original image data;

an image processor configured to perform image processing to generate image data, the image processing providing the original image data with a predetermined effect;

a storage configured to store a plurality of first parameter sets and at least one second parameter set, the plurality of first parameter sets each defining the effect in the image processing and the at least one second parameter set each defining a correspondence before and after color information in an image is converted; and

a user interface configured to receive a user operation combining a first parameter set of the plurality of first parameter sets with a second parameter set of the at least one second parameter,

wherein based on the user operation in the user interface, the image processor is configured to

adjust an image indicated by the original image data, using the first parameter set included in the combination designated by the user operation, and

convert color information included in the image adjusted by the first parameter set, using the second parameter set included in the designated combination, to generate the image data.

2. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an input interface,

wherein the at least one second parameter set is stored in advance in the storage, or is acquired from an outside via the input interface and stored in the storage.

3. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a display configured to display information,

wherein

the user interface is configured to receive the user operation of designating, to one of the at least one second parameter set, a candidate of the first parameter set to be combined with the one second parameter set,

the storage is configured to store the candidate designated by the user operation, and

the display is configured to display information indicating the candidate when displaying information related to the one second parameter set.

4. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the storage is configured to store a plurality of the combinations designated by the user operation,

the user interface is configured to receive a user operation selecting one of the plurality of combinations, and

when the one of the plurality of combinations is preselected before capturing of the original image data by the user operation received by the user interface, the image processor is configured to

adjust the image indicated by the original image data using the first parameter set included in the preselected combination, and

convert the color information included in the image adjusted by the first parameter set using the second parameter set included in the preselected combination to generate the image data.

5. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of a plurality of parameters constituting the first parameter set included in the combination is each configured to change by a user operation received via the user interface.

6. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a recorder configured to record the image data in a recording medium.

7. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a communication interface configured to transmit the image data to a communication network.

8. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second parameter set is a three-dimensional lookup table.
