  • Patent number: 9967473
    Abstract: The present invention relates to appropriate notification of whether an adjustment item in image processing is available to a user when an information processing apparatus separately acquires a first image and a second image paired with the first image. The information processing apparatus displays the adjustment item in the image processing on a screen in order to set a parameter of each adjustment item for a sub image. The information processing apparatus performs an acquisition process to acquire a main image paired with the sub image. Among the multiple adjustment items displayed on the screen, adjustment items achieving only insufficient adjustment results with the sub image and main image adjustment items achieving more appropriate adjustment results with the main image are updated to a display mode corresponding to an acquisition status of the main image to display the adjustment items on the screen in the updated display mode.

  • Patent number: 9553952
    Abstract: An image processing system in which a client apparatus transmits RAW image data to a server apparatus, receives a result developed by the server apparatus, and displays onto a display area. The client apparatus reduces the RAW image data to a size suitable to display, transmits to the server apparatus, and requests a development processing. The client apparatus also starts a transmission processing of original RAW image data to the server apparatus. While making adjustment of the development processing to reduced RAW image data, the client apparatus and the server apparatus execute a transmission and reception processing of the original RAW image data in parallel therewith. After the development processing of the reduced RAW image data, if there is a request from the client apparatus, the server apparatus also executes the development processing of the original RAW image data.
