A display processing apparatus includes a first display controller that displays a background image in a display unit; and a second display controller that displays a print image in the display unit. The second display controller changes a magnification of the print image so that the print image has a size obtained by changing a size of a recording medium on which the print image is to be printed on a scale of the background image displayed in the display unit, and superimposes and displays the print image on the background image.

Display processing apparatus and display processing method

A first acquiring unit acquires a background image being an image of a usage environment in which a printed material is used, a lighting image of a lighting installed in the usage environment, and light source information indicating an optical attribute in the usage environment. A second acquiring unit acquires print data. A display control unit displays a preview image on a display unit, where the preview image is an image in which a printed material image is superimposed on the background image, and the printed material image is an image in which the lighting image is mapped by environment mapping onto a print-image display surface generated based on the print data and in which the optical attribute specified by the light source information is set.

Display apparatus, display method, and computer program product

A display processing apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive display information indicating whether gloss-control plane image data is displayed and whether clear plane image data is displayed. The gloss-control plane image data specifies a type of a surface effect applied to a recording medium and a glossy area to which the surface effect is to be applied, and indicates a color of the glossy area when being displayed. The clear plane image data specifies a transparent image formed on the recording medium and indicates a color of the transparent image when being displayed. The apparatus also includes a generating unit configured to synthesize color plane image data indicating a color image and one of the gloss-control plane image data and the clear plane image data that is specified to be displayed thus to generate a synthetic image.

An image processing apparatus includes a file management unit that manages files for image output, a file registration unit that registers the files, an output-configuration-information management unit that manages output configuration information, an output-configuration-information registration unit that registers the output configuration information, a data creation unit that creates the data in accordance with the output configuration information, and an output determination unit. When the file registration unit registers each of the files to the file management unit, the output determination unit determines whether the combined image can be outputted in accordance with certain output conditions. The output-configuration-information management unit registers predetermined output configuration information for the combined image and adds an output condition of the file that can be outputted to the output configuration information of the combined image.

Image processing apparatus, method of managing image output, and storage medium

An image processing apparatus stores an input image and an image ID for identifying the image in association with each other, stores a medium ID for identifying a recording medium on which the image is printed n, a unit ID for identifying a print unit having a plurality of recording media, and an image ID of an image included in the print unit in association with each another, detects a plurality of medium IDs from at lease one recording medium, obtains image IDs of all images included in the print unit identified by the unit ID associated with the medium ID, obtains images associated with obtained image IDs, and outputs obtained images.

A scanner unit reads a code image from a recording medium. A detecting unit detects a medium identification from the code image. An identification obtaining unit obtains image identifications of all images included in a print unit that is identified by a unit identification and a print condition corresponding to the medium identification, from an identification storing unit. An image obtaining unit obtains all images corresponding to the image identification from an image storing unit. A printing unit prints the image obtained by the image obtaining unit under the print condition obtained by the identification obtaining unit.

Image forming apparatus, image forming system, and image forming method

In an image processing apparatus, a limit check procedure compares a capacity necessary for storing designated image files to be transferred and the residual memory capacity of a destination to which the image files should be transferred. The procedure determines whether or not the transfer of the image files is allowable on the basis of the result of comparison. This procedure is executed before and during the transfer of image files. The procedure executed before transfer obviates transfer failure when the image files are transferred to an external storage implemented by a CD-R or similar write limiting type of storing medium; in this case, the procedure is not necessary during transfer. In the event of transfer to a work memory built in the apparatus, even if transfer is allowed before transfer, the procedure is executed during transfer in order to produce an alarm when transfer becomes unallowable.
