Abstract: A creative figure board game play and learning kit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a board game plate on which a plurality of unit figures having predetermined shapes is disposed at predetermined intervals to define a main set of figures; and shape piece blocks which are disposed on the board game plate by being rotated, moved, symmetric, and reversed along an outer circumferential portion of at least one of the unit figures, and connected to one another to define a sub-set of figures that divides a part of the main set of figures, in which the shape piece blocks have a single transformable shape piece block which is transformable to correspond to shapes of the remaining shape piece blocks.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for measuring the skin condition of a face detected from an image and improving the face image. The apparatus for improving a face image in a digital image processor comprises a digital signal processor measuring the skin condition of a face detected from an image, correcting a rough portion of the skin of the detected face according to the measured skin condition and displaying the corrected image.

Abstract: A digital photographing apparatus is provided that reduces the number of instances in which an image including a subject having closed eyes is obtained. A method of controlling the apparatus and a computer readable medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the method are also provided. The apparatus includes an image capture device that generates data from light incident thereon, and a blink determination unit that determines whether eyes are closed in an image from the generated data. The blink determination unit performs the determination as to whether eyes are closed only on an image from first still image data obtained in response to a signal received from a user. If the blink determination unit determines that eyes are closed in an image from still image data generated by the image capture device, still image data is obtained again from light incident on the image capture device.

Abstract: A method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus that can easily determine a quality of a photographed image from an image displayed on a display panel included in the digital photographing apparatus, and the digital photographing apparatus using the method. The method includes: performing photographing operation in two or more photographing modes to obtain photographed images in response to a single activation of a shutter button; and displaying simultaneously: (1) a plurality of first images obtained by reducing the photographed images or by reducing the photographed images that are corrected, and (2) a plurality of second images that correspond to parts of the first images.

Abstract: An image photographing apparatus includes a body, on which a tape cassette is removably mounted, and a camera unit installed in the body and provided with a plurality of camera sections. The camera sections have different pixel numbers and the camera sections are independently driven. The image photographing apparatus also includes a mode sensing unit to sense a photographic mode to correspond to at least one of the camera sections, and a control unit to select a photographic mode according to a signal transferred from the mode sensing unit and to drive a camera unit to correspond to the selected photographic mode. The image photographing apparatus includes a display unit provided in the body to show an image photographed by at least one of the camera sections.
