PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image synthesizer and an image synthesizing method that can synthesize, on a real-time basis, a realistic image in which a decorative image is fitted to the skin even when the brightness to illuminate the face varies.SOLUTION: An image synthesizer includes an imaging unit 110 for capturing a picture, a display unit 150 for displaying the captured picture, and a decorative image superimposing unit 140 for changing the brightness of a decorative image to be superimposed on the face of the picture on a pixel basis every time the skin brightness of the face contained in the picture varies, and superimposing the brightness-varied decorative image on the face of the picture.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】顔を照らす明るさが変化しても、化粧画像が肌に馴染んだ画像をリアルタイムに合成する画像合成装置及び画像合成方法を提供する。【解決手段】この画像合成装置は、映像を撮影する撮影部１１０と、撮影された前記映像を表示する表示部１５０と、前記映像に含まれる顔の肌明度が変化する度に、前記映像の顔に重畳する化粧画像の明度を画素単位で変化させ、明度を変化させた前記化粧画像を前記映像の顔に重畳する化粧画像重畳部１４０と、を具備する構成を採る。【選択図】図２
