Abstract:
Methods are provided which are adapted to create print order files that are customized for one or more particular printer (s) . The methods use digital printers that have specific printing capabilities and involve the production and storage of profiles that define the printing capabilities of the printers Preferably, the profile (s) is (are) stored on a removable storage medium, on which a digital camera then stores images and print order files.
Abstract:
The image processing system identifies a subject person corresponding to accompanying information based on consistency between the accompanying information and subject information and carries out image composition associating the accompanying information with a position of the subject person in a corresponding photographed image. The ordering system includes a first information apparatus having an image displaying unit and a second information apparatus capable of transmitting order data at optional timing desired by a customer to the first information apparatus with respect to an image displayed on the image displaying unit. The first information apparatus adds predetermined data relating to the displayed image corresponding to the optional timing to the order data to prepare goods order data and transmits the goods order data to a third information apparatus in a predetermined destination of transmission.
Abstract:
When a memory card MC is inserted into a slot, a control circuit of a color printer acquires and analyzes graphics processing control information GC from the memory card MC. A CPU corrects standard values for image quality parameters indicating properties of graphics data, to reflect the graphics processing control information GC. The CPU corrects image quality parameters to bring them into approximation with the corrected standard values, and adjusts image quality of the graphics data to reflect the corrected image quality parameters.
Abstract:
A Makernote data storage area contains a plurality of sets of output device control information Cl designating image output conditions and image output conditions for achieving the best image output results in output devices, given the color reproduction characteristics and image output characteristics of individual output devices. Output device control information Cl includes identifying information as information designating output devices, and output control information for controlling designated output devices. As graphics file GF includes output device control information Cl for a plurality of output devices, Makernote data storage area contains a plurality of combinations of identifying information and output control information corresponding to output device control information Cl.
Abstract:
A burden on a user operating a mobile terminal can be reduced for causing image data to become printable. An image 31 represented by image data obtained by photography or reception of an e-mail message is displayed on a liquid crystal display monitor 13 of a mobile phone together with a Print button 33 for printing processing that causes the image data to become printable. When a user selects the Print button 33, a printing processing menu is displayed for sending the image data to a DPE store providing a network printing service or to an output apparatus such as a printer having an infrared port, for example. When the user selects a desired type of printing processing, the selected printing processing is carried out. In this manner, the user can cause the image data representing the image 31 to become printable with less complex operation.

Abstract:
The technique of the present invention ensures output of an image subjected to image processing, which does not depend upon the output environment but reflects the color reproduction characteristics of a shooting device and the intention of a photographer in shooting. The process generates an image file that includes picture data generated by a digital still camera, as well as control data and output specification information attached thereto. The control data controls the details of image processing according to the color reproduction characteristics of the camera and the intention of the photographer in shooting. The output specification information specifies, for example, the address of a printing device used as an output resource, the type of printing paper used for printing, and the number of copies. The image file is transmitted to an image processing system on a network. The image processing system carries out image processing of the picture data based on the control data, generates an output file, and transmits the output file to an specified output device via the network. Even in the environment that can not perform image processing based on the control data, the arrangement of the invention ensures output of the image that has been subjected to such image processing.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide an image processing apparatus which comprises connection means for connecting to a computer network to which a plurality of computers are connected and record means for recording and outputting image data sent from the computer through the connection means, the apparatus comprises access means for accessing one of the plurality of computers, selection means for selecting a file to be recorded and output by the record means, from among the files managed by the computer accessed by the access means, and request means for requesting, to the computer accessed by the access means, a sending of the image data in the file selected by the selection means, wherein the record means records and output the image data sent from the computer in accordance with the request means, whereby the image processing apparatus can access the computer which is placed far from that apparatus and output the contents of the computer.
