Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprising an image processing unit configured to execute image processing by selectively using a plurality of image processing patterns, a selecting unit configured to select one of the plurality of image processing patterns according to a user's operation, a determination unit configured to determine whether or not tone correction control has been applied to the image processing pattern selected by the selecting unit, and a notification unit configured to notify, when the determination unit determines that the tone correction control has not been applied yet, a message that advises accordingly.
Claims3
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image processing unit configured to execute image processing by selectively using a plurality of image processing patterns;
- a selecting unit configured to select one of the plurality of image processing patterns according to a user's operation;
- a determination unit configured to determine whether or not tone correction control has been applied to the image processing pattern selected by the selecting unit;
- and
- a notification unit configured to notify, when the determination unit determines that the tone correction control has not been applied yet, by a message that advises accordingly,
- wherein the determination unit calculates a time period elapsed after previous tone correction control executed for an image processing pattern selected by the selecting unit, and determines whether or not the tone correction control is required according to the elapsed time period, and
- when the determination unit determines that the tone correction control is required, the notification unit notifies by a message that advises accordingly.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image processing unit configured to execute image processing by selectively using a plurality of image processing patterns;
- a selecting unit configured to select one of the plurality of image processing patterns according to a user's operation;
- a determination unit configured to determine whether or not tone correction control has been applied to the image processing pattern selected by the selecting unit;
- and
- a notification unit configured to notify, when the determination unit determines that the tone correction control has not been applied yet, by a message that advises accordingly,
- wherein the notification unit includes a list display unit configured to display a list of the plurality of image processing patterns, and
- the list display unit identifiably displays an image processing pattern which is determined by the determination unit not to have undergone the tone correction control from an image processing pattern which has undergone the tone correction control.
A control method for an image processing apparatus, which executes image processing by selectively using a plurality of image processing patterns, the method comprising:
- selecting one of the plurality of image processing patterns according to a user's operation;
- determining whether or not tone correction control has been applied to the image processing pattern selected in the selecting step;
- and
- notifying, when it is determined in the determining step that the tone correction control has not been applied yet, by a message that advises accordingly
- wherein the determining step includes calculating a time period elapsed after previous tone correction control executed for an image processing pattern selected by the selecting step, and determining whether or not the tone correction control is required according to the elapsed time period, and
- when the determining step determines that the tone correction control is required, the notifying step includes notifying by a message that advises accordingly.
