Abstract
Image data obtained by capturing an image including a human is received. The image data is analyzed and a part of the image including a human face is extracted. A prescribed part of the extracted human face is detected. Brightness of the image data is adjusted with reference to the prescribed part to obtain adjusted image data. An image is printed based on the adjusted image data.
