Provided is photo retouching software which is easy for photo studio personnel to use. Upon opening photo image(s), special photo retoucher converts photo image data thereof to working color space image data. At such time(s), if working ICC profile(s) is/are set which is/are different from ICC profile(s) previously embedded in such photo image file(s), color perceptual matching is carried out on the photo image data thereof based on such embedded ICC profile(s) and working ICC profile(s) when such photo image file(s) is/are opened. Furthermore, when such photo image(s) is/are displayed at monitor(s), such image data is converted to monitor color space image data through color matching using working ICC profile(s) and monitor ICC profile(s).

Image retouching program

An adhesive application apparatus sets a dot pattern such that an amount of paste applied to an area on the reverse side of an area on which an image is formed and an amount of paste applied to an area on the reverse side of an area on which the image is not formed are different from each other, and controls a paste discharge head so that the dot pattern having been set is formed on an adhesion surface of paper. Through this, the amount of paste applied to paper can be changed between an area where an image is formed and an area where the image is not formed, thereby making it possible to apply the paste to paper more appropriately in accordance with the state of image formation.

Adhesive application apparatus and control method of the same

A paste formation pattern for odd numbers on which dot groups are arranged in an island form and a paste formation pattern for even numbers on which dot groups are arranged at opposing positions to the dot groups on the paste formation pattern for odd numbers in an island form are set. Further, a paste discharge head is controlled such that the set paste formation pattern for odd numbers is formed on an adhesion surface of an odd-numbered sheet of paper and the discharge head is controlled such that the set paste formation pattern for even numbers is formed on an adhesion surface of an even-numbered sheet of paper.

A dragged portion is moved by easily operating a mouse. An input/output device using a graphical user interface, includes: a display section that displays a dragged portion and a movement region in which the dragged portion is moved on a display screen; a dragged portion movement section that selects the dragged portion by an input device and operates the input device so that the position of the dragged portion moves in the movement region on the display screen dependent on the mount of operation of the input device; and a region movement section that selects a portion other than the dragged portion in the movement region on the display screen by the input device and operates the input device, so that the position of the dragged portion in the movement region on the display screen dependent on the amount of operation of the input device. The ratio between the amount of movement of the dragged portion on the display screen and the amount of operation of the input device when the dragged portion is selected is different from the ratio between the amount of movement of the dragged portion on the display screen and the amount of operation of the input device when a portion other than the dragged portion in the movement region is selected.

Input/output device, input/output method and program therefor

A color correction profile is generated, based on a color difference between an original image prior to arbitrary color adjustment and a resulting color-adjusted image. The generated color correction profile is stored in mapping to an ID of a digital camera used for taking the image. The profile attachment technique of the invention receives each input image, sets an ID of a digital camera included in the input image as a key of retrieval, and retrieves a color correction profile stored in mapping to the ID of the digital camera (step S). When any color correction profile is retrieved successfully corresponding to the ID of the digital camera, the retrieved color correction profile is attached to the image (step S).
