Image processing apparatus which helps an operator to choose appropriate image processing

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• input means for inputting an image;
• an image processor capable of executing first and second image processes for one image, kinds of the first and the second image processes being respectively different from each other, and said image processor being capable of executing respectively for the first and the second image processes a plurality of image processes wherein processing parameters are respectively changes;
• selecting means for selecting one of the first and second image processes to be executed by said image processor;
• display means for displaying a plurality of sample processed images of whichever of the first and second image processes has been selected by said selecting means, together with their processing parameters;
• and
• determining means for determining the processing parameters for the image process selected by said selecting means,
• wherein said image processor executes the image process for image input by said input means, after said determining means determines said processing parameter.

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• an image processor which can execute first and second processes for one image, the first and second image processes being respectively different from each other, and said image processor being capable of executing a plurality of image processes wherein processing parameters are changed respectively for the first and the second image processes;
• input means for inputting a selection command to select the first or the second image process or the processing parameters;
• and
• display means for displaying at least one sample processed image on the basis of an input made by means of said input means,
• wherein said display means displays a plurality of sample processed images with respect to the selected image process in a case where said input means inputs the selection command, and displays the sample processed image corresponding to the processing parameter of the selected image process in a case where said input means inputs the selection command and the processing parameter.
