Abstract
For creating a surface-textured image on a thermally expandable sheet, an image editor edits the original image data in a plurality of editing manners to generate a plurality of edited image data, the plurality of edited image data corresponding to mutually different textured surface profiles to be created on the thermally expandable sheet, and the image editor causes a display unit to display a plurality of preview images that are generated in accordance with the plurality of edited image data, respectively, in such a manner as to enable a comparison of differences among the plurality of editing manners by a user.
Claims20
A printer for printing a surface-textured image on a thermally expandable sheet, comprising:
- a display unit;
- a user input receiver;
- a processor connected to the display unit and the user input receiver, the processor being configured to:
- receive an original image data of an original image to be printed on the thermally expandable sheet;
- edit the original image data in a plurality of editing manners that are pre-selected or user-selected to generate a plurality of edited image data, the plurality of edited image data corresponding to mutually different textured surface profiles to be created on the thermally expandable sheet;
- cause the display unit to display a plurality of preview images that are generated in accordance with the plurality of edited image data, respectively, at once so as to enable a simultaneous comparison of differences among the plurality of editing manners by a user;
- receive, from the user via the user input receiver, a command to select one of the plurality of edited image data;
- a printing unit that prints a corresponding image on said thermally expandable sheet based on the selected one of the plurality of edited image data;
- and
- a light radiating unit that radiates light onto said image printed on said thermally expandable sheet so as to cause the thermally expandable sheet to expand due to thermal expansion, thereby creating the surface-textured image on the thermally expandable sheet.
A processor configured to be connected to a printer that prints a surface-textured image on a thermally expandable sheet, the processor being configured to:
- receive an original image data of an original image to be printed on the thermally expandable sheet;
- edit the original image data in a plurality of editing manners that are pre-selected or user-selected to generate a plurality of edited image data, the plurality of edited image data corresponding to mutually different textured surface profiles to be created on the thermally expandable sheet;
- cause a display unit to display a plurality of preview images that are generated in accordance with the plurality of edited image data, respectively, at once so as to enable a simultaneous comparison of differences among the plurality of editing manners by a user;
- receive, from the user, a command to select one of the plurality of edited image data;
- and
- output to a printing unit a printing data in accordance with selected one of the plurality of edited image data.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions executable by a processor that is configured to be connected to a printer that prints a surface-textured image on a thermally expandable sheet, said instructions causing the processor to perform the following:
- receive an original image data of an original image to be printed on the thermally expandable sheet;
- edit the original image data in a plurality of editing manners that are pre-selected or user-selected to generate a plurality of edited image data, the plurality of edited image data corresponding to mutually different textured surface profiles to be created on the thermally expandable sheet;
- cause a display unit to display a plurality of preview images that are generated in accordance with the plurality of edited image data, respectively, at once so as to enable a simultaneous comparison of differences among the plurality of editing manners by a user;
- receive, from the user, a command to select one of the plurality of edited image data;
- and
- output to a printing unit a printing data in accordance with selected one of the plurality of edited image data.
