    Abstract: A system in which an editing server (10) and a lot of client computers (1) are capable of communicating with one another, and an edited image can be generated by the plurality of client computers. When image data is transmitted from the image server to the client computer, the resolution of image data to be transmitted is reduced in correspondence with the resolution of a monitor display device connected to the client computer. Further, the number of colors of an image represented by the image data is decreased in correspondence with the number of colors which can be displayed on the monitor display device. The data quantity of the image data to be transmitted is reduced, so that time required to transmit the image data is shortened. A user image to be synthesized on a template image is read in the client computer. Image data representing the template image used for the image synthesis and image data representing a mask image are transmitted from the main image server to the client computer. In the client computer, image synthesis processing is performed. Image data representing an area required for image synthesis of the user image used for the image synthesis is extracted. The extracted user image data and synthesis information required for the synthesis are transmitted from the client computer to the main image server, where a composite image is printed. A lot of client computers and an editing server are connected to one another via an internet. One of the client computers generates an edited image, and another client computer reedits the generated edited image. The process of the editing can be also confirmed on a display screen by a client computer which does not relate to the editing.

    Abstract: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a data communication apparatus capable of communicating multilevel image data, and a control method therefor. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Facsimile apparatuses capable of communicating not only a monochrome binary image (to be referred to as a normal image hereinafter) but also a multilevel image (to be referred to as a high-quality image hereinafter) such as a color or grayscale image have conventionally been known. The conventional facsimile apparatus capable of communicating normal and high-quality images has common setting of the receiving capacity such as the receivable resolution or receivable size regardless of the type of received image, i.e., reception mode. For example, when the facsimile apparatus supports the A3 size as a maximum receivable size in a normal reception mode in which a normal image is received, it must support the A3 size so as to receive it similarly in a high-quality reception mode in which

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of recording still pictures onto a recording medium. The present method records still pictures onto a recording medium in a DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) structure defined for a digital still camera or in a file structure defined for a digital video recorder, creates management information to access the recorded still pictures, and writes the management information in management information fields specified in a digital video recorder. Referring to the management information, a desired still picture or desired still pictures can be found easily and rapidly among numerous still pictures recorded on a recording medium.

    Abstract: The invention provides a facsimile which automatically switches communication networks depending upon the reading mode of the reading means for reading the image information of an original. Specifically, a facsimile is provided with reading means for reading the image information of an original and setting means for setting the reading mode of the reading means and which sends information read by the reading means via either the Internet or a public switched network. If a reading mode set by the setting means is a predetermined reading mode, switching means switches to sending the read information using the Internet.
