Method of copying a photograph by using a copier with border eliminating mode

A method of copying a photograph by using a copier, by using a copier in which copying processing is carried out with an original abutting a member provided at a position corresponding to one side of a platen glass, said method forming, from a photograph original having white borders at the four peripheral portions thereof, a photographic print in which the borders are eliminated, said method comprising the steps of:

• effecting magnification setting processing, in which, given that P is a transverse dimension of each of the white borders and Q is an image dimension, magnification is set to a predetermined enlargement magnification of greater than or equal to 100.times.(Q+2P)/Q and the photograph original is enlarged at the predetermined enlargement magnification with a substantial center of the member provided at the position corresponding to the one side of the platen glass as a reference, said magnification setting processing being effected by selection of a border eliminating mode;
• and
• effecting reference position shifting processing in which a reference position, which is a reference at a time at which exposure processing is carried out during copying processing, is shifted by an amount corresponding to the transverse dimension P of the white border at one side of the photograph original which one side abuts the member provided at the position corresponding to the one side of the platen glass.

• effecting reference position shifting processing in which a reference position, which is a reference at a time at which transfer processing is carried out during copying processing, is shifted by an amount corresponding to the transverse dimension P of the white border at one side of the photograph original which one side abuts the member provided at the position corresponding to the one side of the platen glass.
