  • Patent number: 10044911
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention performs a first correction for an image based on a correction value corresponding to a step designated by an operator among a plurality of steps corresponding to a plurality of correction values used for correcting the image. The image processing apparatus stores information used for specifying a change amount of a correction value corresponding to a change of one step of the plurality of steps in a memory. The change amount can be changed, and the change amount at the time of operator's designating the step is stored. The image processing apparatus performs a second correction for the image based on the change amount of the correction value corresponding to the change of the one step that is specified by the information stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 6744905
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus has an input unit for inputting a plurality set of drawing data representing one frame image a generating unit for generating first intermediate language data representing a watermark to be added to the one frame image and generating second intermediate language data by analyzing the drawing data input from the input unit and a producing unit for producing final print image data in accordance with the first and second intermediate language data, wherein the first intermediate language data representing the watermark is regenerated in accordance with contents of the second intermediate language data. A watermark added to an image can be reliably prevented from being lost by an image editing process.
