Image processing method and image processing device

Abstract

An image processing method and image processing device are provided which can always carry out optimal image processing without being affected by differences due to developing or differences due to the passage of time. Photographic film characteristics and data of a standard exposure portion, which is recorded outside of image forming regions and read by prescanning or fine scanning, are outputted to a photographic film characteristics storing section. A determination is made as to whether photographic film characteristics of a photographic film whose ID is read are stored in the photographic film characteristics storing section. If the photographic film characteristics are stored, various types of image processings are carried out on the basis of the photographic film characteristics. If the photographic film characteristics are not stored, various types of image processings are carried out after photographic film characteristics are computed from the data of the standard exposure portion.
