Image editing apparatus and control method for the same, computer program, storage media

An image editing apparatus for processing a plurality of image data to be edited that are stored in a storage unit and controlling the display of the image data to be edited on a display unit, the image editing apparatus comprising:

• an image processing unit adapted to perform image processing on the image data to be edited;
• a history storage unit adapted to store processing history information of image data which have previously undergone image processing by the image processing unit;
• a position obtaining unit adapted to obtain position information on the position at which the image processing had been applied to the previously image-processed image data from the processing history information;
• and
• a display controller adapted to cause a portion of the image data to be edited, to which the image processing is to be applied, to be displayed on a display area on the display unit, based on the position information,
• wherein the display controller causes a portion in newly selected image data, corresponding to the position information to be displayed as the portion to which the image processing is to be applied, according to an instruction from a user to change the image data,
• wherein the display controller performs a conversion process on the position information using the width and height of the newly selected image data, and causes a position of the newly selected image data, corresponding to the position information after conversion to be displayed.

A control method for an image editing apparatus comprising a storage section for storing a plurality of image data to be edited, and a display section for displaying the image data to be edited, the control method comprising:

• an image processing step for performing image processing on the image data to be edited;
• a position information obtaining step for obtaining position information on the position at which image processing had been applied to previously image-processed image data from information, stored in a history storage section, regarding the processing history of the image data to be edited which have previously undergone image processing;
• and
• a display control step which causes a portion of the image data to be edited, on which image processing is to be performed, to be displayed on the display area on the display section, based on the position information,
• wherein the position of the display area in relation to the image to be edited is compensated for in the display control step in at least any of the width direction and the height direction of the image to be edited so that only the image to be edited is included in a displayed image within the display area, when the displayed image includes images other than the image to be edited.

A control method for an image editing apparatus comprising a storage section for storing a plurality of image data to be edited, and a display section for displaying the image data to be edited, the control method comprising:

• an image processing step for performing image processing on the image data to be edited;
• a position information obtaining step for obtaining position information on the position at which image processing had been applied to previously image-processed image data from information, stored in a history storage section, regarding the processing history of the image data to be edited which have previously undergone image processing;
• and
• a display control step which causes a portion of the image data to be edited, on which image processing is to be performed, to be displayed on the display area on the display section, based on the position information,
• wherein a portion of newly selected image data to be edited and image processed corresponding to the position information is displayed in the display control step as the portion of the image data to be edited to which the image processing is to be applied, according to an instruction from a user to change the image data,
• wherein a conversion process is performed on the position information using the width and height of the newly selected image data and wherein a position corresponding to the position information after conversion is displayed in the display control step.

A computer-readable storage media which stores a computer program which causes a computer to execute a control method for an image editing apparatus comprising a storage section for storing a plurality of image data to be edited, and a display section for displaying the image data to be edited, the method comprising:

• an image processing step for performing image processing on the image data to be edited;
• a position information obtaining step for obtaining position information on the position at which image processing had been applied to previously image-processed image data from information, stored in a history storage section, regarding the processing history of image data to be edited which have previously undergone image processing;
• and
• a display control step which causes a portion of the image data to be edited, on which image processing is to be performed, to be displayed on the display area on the display section, based on the position information,
• wherein the position of the display area in relation to the image to be edited is compensated for in the display control step in at least any of the width direction and the height direction of the image to be edited so that only the image to be edited is included in a displayed image within the display area, when the displayed image includes images other than the image to be edited.
