1. An image correction method comprising: a step in which a digital computing apparatus detects a predetermined region of a subject from an inputted image; a step in which said apparatus computes an intensity value indicating how close a color component of a pixel is to a dominant color component of the detected predetermined region; and a step in which said apparatus performs image correction to the pixel such that brightness or lightness of the pixel is decreased, wherein the information processing apparatus determines a degree of correction to be performed to the pixel based on the intensity value and the brightness or lightness of the pixel of the inputted image.
