Image processing apparatus and image processing method

An image processing apparatus, comprising:

• an acquiring unit configured to acquire, from an external image processing apparatus having generated input image data by performing first image processing on original image data, the input image data and information on the first image processing;
• a processing unit configured to generate processed image data by performing second image processing on the input image data;
• and
• an outputting unit configured to output the information on the first image processing acquired by the acquiring unit, information on the second image processing performed by the processing unit, and information regarding an order of execution of the first image processing and the second image processing either as a single piece of information or individual pieces of information.

An image processing method, comprising:

• an acquiring step of acquiring information on first image processing performed on input image data;
• a processing step of generating processed image data by performing second image processing on the input image data;
• and
• an outputting step of outputting the information on the first image processing acquired in the acquiring step, information on the second image processing performed in the processing step, and information regarding an order of execution of the first image processing and the second image processing either as a single piece of information or individual pieces of information, wherein
• the information on the first image processing and the information on the second image processing respectively include a parameter of a type defined in the ASC CDL.
