Digital laboratory system for processing photographic images

An image processing method in which image processing is effected for original image data so as to obtain output image data, comprising:

• a processing content setting step in which a plurality of kinds of processing contents of at least one kind of image processing for the original image data is set based on the original image data in advance before image processing;
• an output step in which an image represented by the output image data generated by effecting at least one kind of image processing for the original image data is outputted based on a specified processing content among the plurality of kinds of processing contents set in said processing content setting step;
• an input step in which information which indicates whether an instruction for correction of the image outputted in said output step is inputted;
• and
• a processing content switching step in which when information which indicates the instruction for correction of the image is inputted in said input step, the specified processing content is switched to another processing content among the plurality of kinds of processing contents.

An image processing method for image processing of original image data using pre-scan processing and fine scan processing so as to obtain output image data, the method comprising the steps of:

• performing the pre-scan processing to generate pre-scan data from the original image data, wherein the pre-scan data is converted into display image data;
• receiving an instruction for correction of the original image data by reading at least one correction-processing parameter;
• performing the fine scan processing based on the at least one correction-processing parameter;
• and
• outputting the output image data according to a desired output state correlating to the instruction for correction.
