Digital camera, image playback apparatus, methods of controlling same, and program for controlling image playback apparatus

An image playback apparatus comprising:

• a reading device for reading a recording medium removably loaded in a digital camera and on which have been recorded CCD-RAW color image data, first color image data in which noise has been reduced from the CCD-RAW color image data by noise reducing processing, second color image data obtained as a result of subjecting the first color image data to a color correction by color correcting processing, or third color image data obtained as a result of subjecting the second color image data to a tone correction by tone correcting processing, wherein information indicating details of processing that has been applied to image data recorded on the recording medium from among the CCD-RAW color image data, first color image data, second color image data and third color image data has been recorded on the recording medium, the reading device reading the image data and the information indicating details of processing from the recording medium;
• and
• a data processing device for subjecting the image data, which has been read by said reading device, to whichever of the noise reducing processing, color correcting processing and tone correcting processing has not been executed, based upon the information, which has been read by the reading device, indicating details of processing.

A method of controlling an image playback apparatus comprising the steps of:

• a reading step of reading a recording medium removably loaded in a digital camera and on which have been recorded CCD-RAW color image data, first color image data in which noise has been reduced from the CCD-RAW color image data by noise reducing processing, second color image data obtained as a result of subjecting the first color image data to a color correction by color correcting processing, or third color image data obtained as a result of subjecting the second color image data to a tone correction by tone correcting processing, wherein information indicating details of processing that has been applied to image data recorded on the recording medium from among the CCD-RAW color image data, first color image data, second color image data and third color image data has been recorded on the recording medium, said reading step reading the image data and the information indicating details of processing from the recording medium;
• and
• subjecting the read image data to whichever of the noise reducing processing, color correcting processing and tone correcting processing has not been executed, based upon the read information indicating details of processing.

A program for controlling an image playback apparatus so as to implement the following steps:

• a reading step of reading a recording medium removably loaded in a digital camera and on which have been recorded CCD-RAW color image data, first color image data in which noise has been reduced from the CCD-RAW color image data by noise reducing processing, second color image data obtained as a result of subjecting the first color image data to a color correction by color correcting processing, or third color image data obtained as a result of subjecting the second color image data to a tone correction by tone correcting processing, wherein information indicating details of processing that has been applied to image data recorded on the recording medium from among the CCD-RAW color image data, first color image data, second color image data and third color image data has been recorded on the recording medium, said reading step reading the image data and the information indicating details of processing from the recording medium;
• and
• subjecting the read image data to whichever of the noise reducing processing, color correcting processing and tone correcting processing has not been executed, based upon the read information indicating details of processing.
