An image data display apparatus includes a display section configured to display images to be printed in the form of thumbnails; a reception section configured to receive image data and print data for the image data; a memory configured to store the image data and the print data; and a controller configured to determine a display order of the display in the form of thumbnails performed by the display section. The controller extracts from the memory image data items to which the print data is attached, and displays in the form of thumbnails on the display section the image data items to which the print data is attached.

A printing control device included in an image processing device for displaying an observed image on a display screen, the printing control device including: a printing instruction detecting unit for detecting whether or not there is a printing instruction to print the observed image; and a gradation correction information output control unit for outputting information on gradation correction made temporarily for observation of the observed image to one of a printing device and an external storage medium together with original image data of the observed image when a printing instruction is detected.

Apparatus and method for performing gradation adjustment of a display image

In a printing system in which with a plurality of different types of controllers connected to one serial bus, different types of print data can be inputted to and printed by a printing unit. When a set top box and desktop and portable personal computers, different in type from each other, are connected to a IEEE 1394 serial bus, screen data is outputted from the set top box to an AV/C printer and PDL data is outputted from the personal computers to the AV/C printer. The AV/C printer judges the image type of the input data. Based on the image type, the printing system converts the print data to a type of print data supported by the AV/C printer.

In progressing a video gate in accordance with a game software program read out from a video game program recording medium and in converting the contents for printing into printing data, which is printed, the printer driver stored in a non-volatile memory is to be updated to enable the printing by the latest printer driver. To this end, as a printer driver is read from the video game program recording medium at step S, the version of the printer driver as read out is checked at step SIf the printer driver as read out is of a new version, the printer driver in the memory card is updated at step S

Video game system, video game apparatus, controlling method therefor and a recording medium for video game program

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to execute a video-game software program read from a video-game program recording medium, to convert contents data to print data, and to enable a printer of an unknown type to print the print data. To achieve the object, a data-reading module determines whether the printer connected to a video game apparatus is of an unknown type (Step S ). If the printer is of an unknown type, or a type not designated by the printer driver, printing parameter is read from the printer, the parameter of a device engine module is changed in accordance with the printing parameter (Step S ). And the print data is printed (Steps S to S ).

A trace line picture which is manually drawn with a pen is taken in by a camera or a scanner, and is supplied to a personal computer as an original line drawing. The personal computer carries out thinning processing on the supplied line drawing, and paints all pixels in a closed area surrounded by the thinned line with a color designated by an operator. Then, the computer thickens the original trace line and colors pixels on the thickened trace line with a predetermined color, in accordance with a command from the operator. The computer synthesizes the picture of the closed area surrounded by the thinned line and the thickened picture in accordance with a predetermined synthesis formula. Finally, the computer checks whether or not pictures synthesized over several frames are displayed as an appropriate dynamic image. By the above-described production processing, an animation color image can be quickly produced by using the computer.
