An image display apparatus connected to a printer, for displaying an image to be printed by the printer, includes display section for displaying taken image data as a thumbnail, control section for generating edited image data by editing the taken image data selected by a user and generating an additional thumbnail of the edited image data, and select section for selecting a taken image displayed on the display means to be edited, an editing operation for the taken image, and a print image. As the taken image is edited, the control means displays the additional thumbnail of the edited image data in addition to a thumbnail of the taken image data on the display means to allow each of the thumbnail and the additional thumbnail to be selected as the print image.

An article producing terminal apparatus communicatable with an external apparatus holding article-producing job data including image data, production information for producing an article using the image data and terminal designation information is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a communication unit communicating with the external apparatus; an article producing unit producing an article using the image data; a job acquiring unit acquiring that article-producing job data in the article-producing job data held in the external apparatus which designates the local article producing terminal apparatus with the terminal designation information by causing the communication unit to communicate with the external apparatus; and a job execution control unit causing the article producing unit to execute article production based on the image data and the production information in the article-producing job data acquired by the job acquiring unit.

Article producing terminal apparatus, article producing method and program

A print terminal includes a memory reader for reading image data recorded in a recording medium, an image-capturing unit for capturing the image data read by the memory reader, and an image-processing unit for processing the image data captured by the image-capturing unit. The image-processing unit has a first rotation-processing function for rotating a print image to be used in printing the image data, a second rotation-processing function for rotating a print-medium image to change the orientation of a print medium to be used in printing the image data, and a third rotation function for simultaneously rotating both the print image and the print-medium image.

Print terminal, print system, storage medium, and program

A print data processing apparatus includes a reception processing unit receiving an instruction for execution of a multi-size printing function to output a piece of print data in a plurality of print sizes.

The present invention is directed to a method of processing a color video signal in which printing color separation data is formed from a color video signal and a printing original plate is made by using the printing color separation data. This color video signal processing method is comprised of the steps of reading out a reference color test chart by a printing scanner and producing scanner four color separation data of the reference color test chart by the printing scanner, taking a picture of the reference color test chart radiated by a standard light source by a video camera, producing camera four color separation data from a color video signal output from the video camera, comparing the scanner four color separation data with the camera four color separation data and allowing a level difference therebetween to be stored in a memory as correcting data which is used to correct the camera four color separation data, and correcting the four color separation data by the correcting data stored in the memory to thereby produce four color separation data when the four color separation data for making the printing original plate are generated from a color video signal of the video camera. Therefore, a printing original plate having satisfactory color reproducibility can be produced by utilizing the video camera.

Color video still image processing system

A color image of an object is processed so that the processed image accurately portrays the colors of the object regardless of varying exposure conditions. An object and a color chart that is comprised of a plurality of color chips having known colorimetric parameters are imaged under the same predetermined exposure conditions. Then, colorimetric parameters are determined for each imaged color chip of the imaged color chart. A correlation, between the known and the determined colorimetric parameters, is computed and, on the basis of the computed correlation, the color of the imaged object is corrected.

Color image processing method and apparatus

An image processing apparatus receives an input image signal and an input value defining a characteristic of an image to be printed in a dimensional system selected from a plurality of dimensional systems, whereupon, the input value is converted to corresponding numerical values in the other dimensional systems and the received input image signal is processed for conversion to a desired image signal in accordance with the converted numbered values. Such desired image signal is then supplied to a printer for printing the respective image. Further, a display monitors the input value defining a characteristic of the image to be printed and also the converted numerical values in the other dimensional systems.
