Abstract
A color image generating apparatus has a memory circuit for memorizing at least a part of an original image in a test print mode operation of the apparatus. An output circuit is used for reading the memorized image from the memory circuit and repeatedly outputting this image, a plurality of times on one display. Image processing circuit for processing the image with a different print condition at each time of repeatedly outputting the image from the output circuitry is used. A plurality of sample images are each printed in a different print condition and displayed on one test sample print paper so that an optimal desired image is selected from the plurality of test sample images.
Claims8
A device for adjusting a color balance of an image to be printed, used in an image generating apparatus, comprising:
- a switching means for switching an operation mode of said image generating apparatus between a test print mode and a normal print mode;
- a memory means for memorizing an image signal relating to at least a part of an original image when said switching means selects said test print mode;
- an output means for reading said memorized image signal from said memory means and repeatedly outputting said image signal a plurality of times;
- an image processing means for receiving another image signal relating to said original image when said switching means selects said normal print mode and for receiving said outputted image signal when said switching means selects said test print mode, and for processing one signal of said received another image signal and said received image signal, with a different print condition at each time when said output means outputs repeatedly said image signal;
- and
- an image generating means for receiving said processed one signal and for generating said image to be printed in accordance with said received one signal.
