1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a first image processing section that performs a blurring process on a target region that is at least a part of a content image;
a second image processing section that performs predetermined image processing on the blurring-processed target region by using brightness values of individual pixels in the target region that has not yet been blurring-processed; and
a text processing section that displays text over the target region subjected to the predetermined image processing,
wherein the second image processing section reflects brightness values of pixels in the blurring-processed target region that are positioned apart by a distance based on the brightness values of the pixels in the target region that have not yet been blurring-processed on the pixels in the target region.
