Abstract

There is disclosed an image processing program causing a computer to perform the following operations setting image processing executed for a processing target image as application image processing, setting a plurality of predetermined processing parameter values used in the application image processing, executing the application image processing based on the parameter values to generate a plurality of processing result images, generating reduced images of the processing result images, displaying the reduced images, selecting one of reduced images, deciding the processing parameter values of the processing result image corresponding to the selected reduced image as a processing parameter values of the application image processing, setting the processing result image corresponding to the selected reduced image as a new processing target image, setting another kind of image processing as new application image processing, and repeatedly executing the process from the parameter setting processing to the image processing setting processing.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer readable medium storing a computer program which executes a plurality of image quality adjustment processing operations of different kinds for an image, the computer program causing a computer to perform the following operations:

first image setting processing which sets an original image as a processing target image to adjust its image quality;
first image processing setting processing which sets a kind of image quality adjustment processing executed for the processing target image as application image processing;
parameter setting processing which sets a plurality of predetermined processing parameter values used in the application image processing;
processing result image generation processing which executes the application image processing for the processing target image based on the parameter values set in the parameter setting processing to generate a plurality of processing result images;
reduced image generation processing which generates reduced images of the processing result images;
reduced image display processing which displays the reduced images generated in the reduced image generation processing;
reduced image selection processing which selects one of the plurality of reduced images displayed in the reduced image display processing;
parameter value deciding processing which decides the processing parameter values of the processing result image corresponding to the reduced image selected in the reduced image selection processing as a processing parameter values of the application image processing;
second image setting processing which sets the processing result image corresponding to the reduced image selected in the reduced image selection processing as a new processing target image;
second image processing setting processing which sets another kind of image quality adjustment processing to be executed next as new application image processing;
and
repeated execution control processing which repeatedly executes the process from the parameter setting processing to the second image processing setting processing.
