Abstract
Using a picture image printing system, both types of pictures recorded by a camera using a film and a digital camera are effectively printed. The printing system comprises a film scanner for inputting a picture recorded on a film, and a card reader for inputting a picture recorded by a digital camera. By switching these upon necessity, digital image data are obtained. An image processing apparatus carries out a pixel number conversion on the digital image data keeping an aspect ratio of the image constant so that the picture image data are printed in a width almost the same as a width of rolled paper. The digital image data whose pixel number has been converted are printed in the form of a print on the rolled paper by a printer.
Claims1
A picture printing system for recording digital image data representing a picture image on rolled paper having a predetermined width, comprising:
- image reading means for obtaining the digital image data by reading a picture image recorded on a film and/or in a picture print,
- data inputting means for inputting an image recorded by a digital camera as the digital image data, and
- pixel number converting means for carrying out a pixel number conversion on the digital image data input from the image reading means or the data inputting means maintaining an aspect ratio of a picture image represented by the digital image data constant so that either the vertical or horizontal length of the picture image almost coincides with the predetermined width.
