Abstract
An image editing method for a digital copier implements image editing in any of various erase modes which include an inside erase mode and a paint-out erase mode. The inside erase mode is to erase an image or images lying in a marked area which has been marked by a marker, while the paint-out erase mode is to erase only an image which has been painted out by a marker. When a mark provided by a marker is detected, any of the two different erase modes is selected automatically.
