RECORDING MEDIUM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING IMAGES

On a screen display, a specialized image effect is easily attained in which near images are made to appear clearly while distant images are seen as blurred. An image is formed on a screen in which for an image pertaining to a background containing far-distance object group for which the depth amount thereof is comparatively large, the source image is made as a semi-transparent processed image for which a two pixel portion thereof is shifted in an upward direction, for an image pertaining to a mid-distance object group the source image is made as a semi-transparent formation processed image for which a one pixel portion thereof is shifted in an upward direction, and for an image pertaining to a near-distance object an upward shifting processing is not performed. For an image after such processing is performed, a near image appears distinctly, a middle-degree distant image appears somewhat blurred and a far-distant image appears still more blurred.
