Abstract: This present invention provides a system and method for transforming a main image of a digital image, such as one stored in the Exchangeable Image File (“EXIF”) format, updating the metadata, including the thumbnail image, to correspond to the transformed main image. The transformed main image and updated metadata are stored together in a file using the EXIF format so that the transformed main image may be viewed using a digital camera or viewer software compatible with a properly formatted EXIF file.

Abstract: The image of a subject is sensed in a photo studio using a digital still camera, and a thumbnail image containing less data than a high-resolution main image representing the image of the subject is generated. Data representing the generated thumbnail image is transmitted to a file apparatus located in another room. The thumbnail-image data requires a shorter transmission time because it contains a smaller amount of data. As a result, the thumbnail image representing the subject is displayed more rapidly.

Abstract: An information managing system for browsing or transferring images between apparatuses is connected to a network. In this system, an information storage apparatus such as an image pickup apparatus, an information managing apparatus such as an image server, and an information processing apparatus or client computer such as a PC are interconnected by the network. The information storage apparatus uploads only related information such as an index of image data stored therein to the information managing apparatus to publicize the related information on the network. Only when the information processing apparatus for browsing the public information issues a transmission request for original information, the original information is transmitted from the information storage apparatus to the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: A card reader loads thumbnail image data from a memory card. Plural thumbnail images are arranged in a matrix, and displayed as an index image on an image selection screen. The thumbnail image to be printed is selected on the image selection screen. The card reader loads principal image data corresponding to the selected thumbnail image and its accompanying information from the memory card. An image processor applies various image processing, such as gradation correction, over the principal image data. A principal image is printed on a front surface of a photographic paper and the index image is printed on a rear surface of the same.
