  • Patent number: 11269948
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided and copies first history data indicating a content of image processing performed on a first image. In response to an instruction to append the copied first history data to a second image received, the electronic apparatus overwrites the second history data with the copied first history data and saves the copied first history data if a result of image processing performed on the second image using second history data is displayed on a first screen. The electronic apparatus adds the copied first history data and saves the copied first history data in association with the second image if a plurality of pieces of information corresponding to each of a plurality of second images is displayed on a second screen.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10755462
    Abstract: An electronic device: calculates, for each image, length of a side in a first direction when resizing length of a side in a second direction to a specific length; arranges images such that the number of images arranged in the first direction is not more than a threshold number and a total of lengths of sides in the first direction of the images arranged in the first direction is not more than a threshold length; executes, for each image, resize processing for resizing the images arranged in the first direction such that the total of the lengths is approximated to the threshold length and lengths of sides in the second direction of the images arranged in the first direction are approximated; and displays the images, on which the resize processing is executed, in the display area side by side in the first and second directions.

  • Publication number: 20200073858
    Abstract: A system is provided whereby a user can easily distinguish, in an editing history, an edit content being applied to an image and an edit content not being applied to the image. An image processing apparatus includes an editing unit configured to edit an image according to user's operation, a storage unit configured to store, in a storage medium, an editing history indicating an edit content executed by the editing unit by associating the editing history with the image. A display processing unit is configured to display each edit content on a screen in a different manner depending on being applied to the image or not being applied to the image.
