Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store original image data, an image processing unit configured to process the original image data, a control panel that includes a display unit, and is configured to generate a first image data for editing, the first image data having a reduced amount of data with respect to the original image data stored in the storage unit, to display the first image data on the display unit as a preview, and to display the first image data on the display unit as edits are applied to the first image data, and a control unit configured to receive the edits and control the image processing unit to apply the edits to the original image data.
Claims20
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a data storage configured to store original image data;
- an image processor configured to process the original image data that are read from the data storage;
- a control panel that includes a display, and is configured to generate a preview image data for editing, the preview image data having a reduced amount of data with respect to the original image data stored in the data storage, to display a preview image based on the preview image data on the display, and to display an edited preview image on the display as edits are applied to the preview image;
- and
- a controller configured to receive the edits, control the image processor to apply the edits to the original image data read from the data storage, and overwrite the original image data stored in the data storage with edited original image data to which the edits are applied by the image processor.

An image editing method, comprising:
- storing original image data in a data storage of an image forming apparatus;
- generating preview image data for editing, the preview image data having a reduced amount of data with respect the original image data stored in the data storage, and displaying a preview image based on the preview image data on a display of;
- displaying an edited preview image on the display as edits are applied to the preview image;
- and
- applying the edits to the original image data that are read from the data storage and overwriting the original image data stored in the data storage with edited original image data to which the edits are applied.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium in which a program is recorded, which when executed by an image forming apparatus, causes the the image forming apparatus to perform a method comprising:
- storing original image data in a data storage of the image process apparatus;
- generating preview image data for editing, the preview image data having a reduced amount of data with respect to the original image data stored in the data storage, and displaying a preview image based on the preview image data on a display of the image forming apparatus;
- displaying an edited preview image on the display as edits are applied to the preview image;
- and
- applying the edits to the original image data that are read from the data storage and overwriting the original image data stored in the data storage with edited original image data to which the edits are applied.
