Abstract
An image, which is subjected to a non-standard image processing selectively performed in image units in addition to standard image processings performed when a main print is produced, is subject to an image processing equivalent to a processing performed when the main print is produced or characters indicating the contents of the non-standard image processing are added when an index print is produced. If distortion aberration correction processing is performed when the main print is produced, and an image processing equivalent to the distortion aberration correction processing is not performed when the index print is produced, a frame indicating an image range on the main print is superposed and recorded on an index image.

An index print producing method used for an image processing system in which:
- the processing content of image processing of original image data of each original image of a plurality of original images is determined and the image processing is performed;
- and
- the image data which has undergone the image processing is used to perform a main image output processing comprising at least one of recording the image on a recording material, displaying the image on a display means, and storing the image data on an information recording medium, wherein
- said index print producing method comprises the steps of:
- a first image processing equivalent to the image processing performed at the time of the output of the main image is performed on the original image data of the plurality of original images or a second image processing is performed to append information representing the processing contents of the image processing performed at the time of the output of the main image to the original image data of the plurality of original images,
- the image data of the plurality of original images having undergone the first or second image processing is disposed in a predetermined layout, and
- recording of the images on an image recording material is performed using the image data disposed in the predetermined layout to create an index print.
An image processing system in which:
- the processing content of image processing of original image data of each original image of a plurality of original images is determined and the image processing is performed;
- and
- the image data which has undergone the image processing is used to perform a main image output processing comprising at least one of recording the image on a recording material, displaying the image on a display means, and storing the image data on an information recording medium, wherein said image processing system comprises:
- processing means for performing a first image processing equivalent to the image processing when said main image is output or a second image processing for appending information indicating the processing content of the image processing when said main image is output on the original image data of said plurality of original images;
- disposing means for disposing the data of each image of the plurality of original images which have undergone either said first image processor said second image processing in a predetermined layout;
- and
- producing means for recording an image on a recording material using image data disposed in said predetermined layout to produce an index print.
An image processing method comprising the steps of:
- reading information on the characteristics of a photographic lens and an image recorded on a photographic photosensitive material;
- extracting a main object from said read image;
- reading aberration correction information corresponding to the information on the characteristics of said photographic lens;
- determining whether or not said main object will be positioned in the image void region when an image aberration correction is performed on the basis of information on the position of the extracted said main object and said aberration correction information;
- and
- performing said aberration correction if it is determined that said main object will not be positioned in the image void region.
An image processing device comprising:
- photographic lens characteristics information reading means for reading the information on the characteristics of a photographic lens;
- image reading means for reading an image recorded on a photographic photosensitive material;
- extraction means for extracting the main object from the read image using said image reading means;
- storage means for storing in advance aberration correction information corresponding to said photographic lens characteristics information;
- aberration correction information reading means for reading said aberration correction information from said storage means;
- and
- determining means for determining whether or not said main object will be positioned in the image void region if an image aberration correction is performed, on the basis of information on the position of said main object extracted by the extracting means and said aberration correction information.
An image processing device comprising:
- processing means for performing an image processing on image data in accordance with changes in the shape of the outline of an image represented by the image data;
- display means for displaying an image;
- specifying means for specifying a range cut from an image on the basis of an image displayed on said display means;
- cutting means for cutting data corresponding to the range indicated by said specifying means from the image data;
- and
- display control means for controlling so that a range of an image represented by the image data which excludes the range where an image cannot be cut created by an image processing using said processing means is displayed on said display means, or an image represented by the image data which is divided into ranges where the image can be cut and ranges where the image cannot be cut is displayed on said display means.
An image processing method comprising the steps of:
- correcting in image data representing an image projected via a lens at least one of geometrical distortion and color misregistration of said image arising from an aberration in said lens in a first predetermined direction;
- extracting image data corresponding to an area inside an effective image region from which image voids at both ends in said first predetermined direction of the image represented by said image data have been excluded from the image data which has undergone the correction in the first predetermined direction;
- correcting in the extracted image data at least one of geometrical distortion and color misregistration of an image represented by the image data in a second predetermined direction orthogonal to said first predetermined direction;
- and
- extracting image data corresponding to an area inside an effective image region from which image voids at both ends in said second predetermined direction of the image represented by said image data have been excluded from the image data which has undergone the correction in the second predetermined direction.
