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.
Claims20
An apparatus for recording digital image data representing a picture image on rolled paper having a predetermined width, comprising:
- a data input connection for inputting at least one of film digital image data including digital image data representing a picture image obtained from a film camera and digital camera digital image data obtained by a digital camera;
- a storage device storing said digital camera digital image data and said film digital image data;
- and
- a pixel number conversion device for performing pixel number conversion on the digital camera digital image data while maintaining a constant aspect ratio of the picture image so that the vertical or horizontal length of the picture image represented by the digital camera digital image data substantially coincides with the predetermined width.
An apparatus for recording digital image data representing a picture image on rolled paper having a predetermined width, comprising:
- a storage device storing at least one of film digital image data including digital image data representing a picture image obtained from a film camera and digital camera digital image data obtained by a digital camera as said digital image data;
- and
- a pixel number conversion device for performing pixel number conversion on the digital camera digital image data while maintaining a constant aspect ratio of the picture image so that the vertical or horizontal length of the picture image represented by the digital camera digital image data substantially coincides with the predetermined width.
An apparatus for recording digital image data representing a picture image on rolled paper having a predetermined width, comprising:
- a plurality of data input connections for inputting the digital image data;
- and
- a pixel number conversion device for performing pixel number conversion on the digital camera digital image data while maintaining a constant aspect ratio of the picture image so that the vertical or horizontal length of the picture image represented by the digital camera digital image data substantially coincides with the predetermined width.
A picture printing system for recording digital image data representing a picture image on rolled paper having a predetermined width, comprising:
- a plurality of data input devices for inputting the digital image data;
- and
- a pixel number conversion device for performing pixel number conversion on the digital image data inputted by the data inputting devices while maintaining a constant aspect ratio of the picture image so that the vertical or horizontal length of the picture image represented by the digital image data substantially coincides with the predetermined width.
A picture printing method for recording digital image data representing a picture image on rolled paper having a predetermined width, comprising:
- inputting the digital image data;
