Image processing method and image processing device which generate reprint image data in correspondence with plurality of image regions of recorded print and further based on image data thereof, as well as printing method and print output system which output reprint in which optimum image is recorded based on reprint image data

An image processing method comprising:

• an acquisition step of acquiring first print image data from a first print having a first region and a second region;
• a determination step of determining image processing to be applied, based on information acquired from at least one region of the first region or the second region;
• and
• a generation step of generating second print image data for outputting a second print having a third region corresponding to the first region by performing the image processing on the acquired first print image data,
• wherein the second print has a fourth region corresponding to the second region, and
• wherein the first region and the third region are photographic portions of the first print and the second print, respectively, and
• the second region and the fourth region are frame portions of the first print and the second print, respectively.

An image processing device comprising:

• a smart device that acquires first print image data from a first print having a first region and a second region;
• a processor that determines image processing to be applied, based on information acquired from at least one region of the first region or the second region, and performs the determined image processing on the acquired first print image data to generate second print image data for outputting a second print having a third region corresponding to the first region;
• and
• a network that transmits the first print image data acquired in the smart device to the processor,
• wherein the smart device detects first region image data of the first region of the first print and second region image data of the second region of the first print, and
• the processor respectively determines different types of image processing for the first region image data and the second region image data, which are detected, generates third region image data of the third region and fourth region image data of a fourth region corresponding to the second region based on the first region image data and the second region image data, and combines the third region image data and the fourth region image data as the second print image data.
