Abstract: An image editing apparatus includes an image display apparatus for displaying a read image. An area of an image region displayed in the image display apparatus is determined by the size of the read image. For an image editing process, a frame which indicates an image editing region is displayed within the image region. A cursor is used to move the frame, where the cursor has a display shape which changes in accordance with a position of the frame.

Abstract: Film carrier detecting mechanism is provided to detect a film carrier positioned at an image reading position to find to what size of film the film carrier is applied. Optical system driving mechanism is controlled according to the size of a film detected by the film carrier detecting mechanism, and varies magnification of image forming optical system so that the width of a film image formed on the surface of photoelectric conversion element is kept constant irrespective of the difference in size of film. Image processing circuit processes and regularize an image reading data corresponding to the size of a film detected by the film carrier detecting mechanism based on a corresponding reading condition.

Abstract: A film scanner for generating output image data by applying a correction process referring to a predetermined parameter to the read out image data generated by scanning an original is connected to a digital color printer. When an adjustment mode is specified in the film scanner, the reference output image data generated based on scanning a reference original by a printer is fed to the film scanner to be set as the target data. Based on read out image data generated by scanning a reference original having characteristics identical to those of a reference original, a parameter is calculated to be set for a correction process so that output image data matching the reference data is generated.

Abstract: An image editing apparatus includes an image display apparatus for displaying a read image. An area of an image region displayed in the image display apparatus is determined by the size of the read image. At the time of image editing processing, a frame for indicating the image editing region is displayed on a screen of the display apparatus. A desired region is designated by shifting the frame. The frame is allowed to shift only in a region wherein the image is displayed on the screen.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image processing apparatus by which a first image corresponding to first image information and a second image corresponding to second image information are superimposed one on the top of the other, the apparatus having a scanning device for scanning a document line by line to output the first image information; a composing device for composing the first and second image information so that the first and second images are superimposed one on the top of the other; a detecting device for detecting changes of the scanning speed in a direction perpendicular to the lines; and a controlling device for so controlling the composing device that the relative position of the second and first images in the direction are adjusted line by line in accordance with the results detected.

Abstract: CPU performs correcting process for the difference in sensitivity caused by the difference in the kind of film and exposure condition by setting an amplification value of each video amplifier to which an image data on each color of G, R, and B is inputted wherein the amplification value is set so as to make a maximum value in the maximum and minimum values relative to an output of an image data on a predetermined number of picture elements as a predetermined value, and corrects the contents of each lookup table which is provided for maintaining an amplitude of image reading data on each color of R, G, and B constant so as to obtain predetermined output amplitude by the minimum value.

Abstract: An image editing apparatus used as a film scanner for reading the image of a photo film and outputting an image signal has a display unit for displaying an input image on its picture frame and can output image signals for showing all or a part of the input image on a plurality of paper sheets. An image editing apparatus can display on the picture frame of the display unit, the image of the sheet and an image representing the position of an image to be stored onto the sheet.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image processing apparatus by which a first image corresponding to first image information and a second image corresponding to second image information are superimposed one on the top of the other, the apparatus comprising a scanning device for scanning a document line by line to output the first image information; a composing device for composing the first and second image information so that the first and second images are superimposed one on the top of the other; a detecting device for detecting changes of the scanning speed in a direction perpendicular to the lines; and a controlling device for so controlling the composing device that the relative position of the second and first images in the direction are adjusted line by line in accordance with the results detected.

Abstract: In an image processor capable of setting operation modes separately for a plurality of items related to image processing, it can be designated whether or not to reset the operation mode of each item to an initial mode. The designated data is stored in a resetting/not resetting memory. In the apparatus, when a batch reset processing is instructed, only an item authorized to be reset according to the data stored in the memory is reset to the initial mode. As a result, even if the batch reset instruction is executed, a desired operation mode is not reset.

Abstract: The image display apparatus includes an input image display control portion for displaying an input image on a screen of a display apparatus, a trimming area setting portion for setting or changing a trimming area with respect to the image, a frame display control portion for displaying a trimming frame indicating the trimming area over the image on the screen of the display apparatus, a confirmation input portion for outputting a signal for confirming the trimmed image which is the image in the trimming area, and a confirmation display control portion for displaying the trimmed image as a confirmation display on the screen of the display apparatus in response to a signal from the confirmation input portion. After the confirmation display is given, the image and the trimming frame are displayed on the screen of the display apparatus in response to a signal from a change input portion, and the change of the trimming area by the trimming area setting portion becomes possible.

Abstract: Disclosed is a copying machine for forming a multicolored image, having a plurality of developing devices which contain toner of different colors, and a color image sensor for reading an original image. The copying machine judges each part of the original image whether to be a monochromatic area or a color area, from image data collected by the color image sensor. Then, the copying machine reproduces the monochromatic area by use of only one of the developing devices which contains black toner, and reproduces the color area by use of more than one of the developing devices which contain other color toner. Further, the copying machine detects a border area between the monochromatic area and the color area, and reproduces the border area by use of all the developing devices.

Abstract: A color copying apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes: a scanner for scanning an original to form a plurality of electrostatic latent images corresponding to color components of an image of the original; developing devices for converting the electrostatic latent images formed by the scanner to toner images of different colors; a rotating unit on which the toner images obtained by the conversion are superposed; a detector for detecting a rotating position of the rotating unit; a controller for controlling start timing of the scanner in response to a detection output of the detector; and a regulator for regulating the start timing for each of the toner images.
