  • Patent number: 9179035
    Abstract: A method of editing a combined image which includes a plurality of object images. This editing method includes displaying an outline rectangle which forms outlines of one or more object images within the combined image, and when a predetermined first operation is performed on an object image selected from among the object images located within the outline rectangle, segmenting the selected object image and another object image located within the outline rectangle, and alternatively, when a predetermined second operation is performed on an object image selected from among the object images located within the outline rectangle, combining the selected object image with another object image located within an outline rectangle other than the outline rectangle. After the segmenting or combining is performed, renewing displaying of the outline rectangle according the segmenting or combining result.

  • Patent number: 9036203
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus, a print controlling apparatus, and an image forming method using the same are provided. The image forming method includes extracting at least one graphical primitive from print data, forming an image by arranging the graphical primitive according to whether the extracted graphical primitives are close to each other or not, converting the formed image into a sketch image, modifying the print data by replacing the sketch image and some of the graphical primitives constituting the sketch image, and draft-printing using the modified print data.

  • Publication number: 20130321470
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for viewing an image on a display device, where the image is larger than a display area of the display device. The method includes selecting an area of the image; detecting background and foreground areas in non-selected areas of the image; and displaying the image on the display device. The selected area of the image is displayed in a predetermined scale, all of the background and foreground areas in the non-selected areas of the image are simultaneously displayed on the display device, a degree of deformation of the background areas, differs from a degree of deformation of the foreground areas, and the degree of deformation of the foreground areas changes in relation to distance moving away from the selected area.

  • Publication number: 20130033713
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus and an image forming method, a print controlling terminal and a print controlling method are provided. The image forming apparatus includes a storage unit which stores stereoscopic image patterns to be used for creation of a three dimensional (3D) image, a print unit which prints the stereoscopic image patterns, a user interface unit which receives at least one pattern selected from among the stereoscopic image patterns, and an image creating unit which creates the 3D image by reflecting information related to the at least one selected pattern.
