PURPOSE:To simplify a system by making at least two points variable among plural coordinate points on a correction characteristic, and processing these (x) (y) axial direction inputs by a shared continuous variable input device, in a gradation correcting system for converting a digital still image to a desired density by using a look-up table. CONSTITUTION:The correcting system is constituted of a digital signal input interface 8 connected to a CPU bus 1a, an A/D converter 40, a shared continuous variable input means having first and second variable resistors 41, 42 being coordinate value input means in each (x) (y) axial direction of two coordinate points on a correction characteristic, for instance, B and C, etc. In such a constitution, among the coordinate points A-D of the correction characteristic, A and D are fixed, the coordinate point B is moved in parallel to B1 and B2 by an operation of the resistor 41, and also, the coordinate point C is moved in parallel to C1 and C2 by the operation of the resistor 42. In such a way, a gradation correction can be varied continuously by seeing an image, and the operation is simplified remarkably.
