| 1. An imaging apparatus for shooting an original, the apparatus comprising:
a shape acquiring unit which acquires: (i) an image of the original that is obtained by shooting the original, (ii) a contour
of the image of the original that is of an image representing the original within a shot image, and (iii) a shape of the image
of the original based on the acquired contour;
a correction parameter acquiring unit which acquires image effect correction parameters for correcting an image effect based
on only an area of the image of the original whose shape is acquired by the shape acquiring unit; and
an image effect processing unit which performs an image effect process for the image of the original by using the image effect
correction parameters acquired by the correction parameter acquiring unit,
wherein the shape acquiring unit cuts out the image of the original at a specified timing subsequent to acquiring the shape
of the image of the original.
