A method of processing image or picture signals, including the steps of setting an n×n picture element matrix window (where n is an odd number) with respect to an image signal obtained by scanning an original picture; calculating a correction amount for pixel information at a center position of the window by a predetermined formula obtained on the basis of all of the pixel information within the window; subtracting pixel information of respective picture elements in the window by a suitable subtrahend; calculating the correction amount from added values obtained by adding all the pixel information within the window; converting the correction amount into a correcting value by multiplying the correction amount by a correction coefficient which also takes into consideration the effect of the subtraction on the correction amount; and correcting the pixel information by using the correcting value.
