adjusting and replacing gradually values of the image quality parameter included in a before-changed group of image quality parameters with values of the image quality parameter included in a group of image quality parameters selected after judging a change thereof, when changing the group of image quality parameters used for adjusting is necessary based on the data indicating the feature quantity.
8. An image processing program for operating a computer of an image processing apparatus for adjusting image quality of an inputted image with a predetermined group of image quality parameters, said program comprising:
an image adjusting device for adjusting image quality of the inputted image with the image quality parameter;
a group of image quality parameters receiving device for receiving a plurality of groups of image quality parameters including at least one image quality parameter used by the adjusting device;
a feature quantity extracting device for extracting data indicating feature quantity of the inputted image from the inputted image;
a change judging device for judging necessity of change of the image quality parameter used for the adjusting device based on the data indicating the feature quantity;
an identifying device for identifying a new group of image quality parameters from among the group of image quality parameters received in the receiving device when the change judging device judges that changing the group of image quality parameters is necessary;
a selecting device for selecting the group of image quality parameters identified by the identifying device from the receiving device; and
a parameter-replacing device for gradually replacing values of the image quality parameter included in a before-changed group of image quality parameters with values of the image quality parameter included in the group of image quality parameters identified by the identifying device and selected by the selecting device when the judging device judges that changing the group of image quality parameters is necessary, said parameter-replacing device making the adjusting device use the group of image quality parameters.
