Abstract: According to an image processing apparatus and a control method thereof of the present invention, a graphics drawing result is obtained in accordance with one or more graphics drawing commands included in drawing commands, a clipping command is generated from one or more moving image drawing commands included in the drawing commands, and clipped graphics is obtained by clipping the graphics drawing result using the clipping command. Further, moving image data processed in accordance with the one or more moving image drawing commands included in the drawing commands is generated, and the generated moving image data and the clipped graphics are composed and output.

Abstract: An image description data processing method is provided for execution in an apparatus including a holding unit configured to hold image description data described in an image description language including one of a page description language and a structured language. The method includes acquiring first image description data from the holding unit; extracting a description of a first rendering command from the acquired first image description data; calculating the description of the first rendering command to replace the description of the first rendering command with a description of a second rendering command; and storing second image description data containing the description of the second rendering command in the holding unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus and its control method receives a drawing command including a moving image drawing command and a graphics drawing command and performs drawing processing. A drawing command is received, and the moving image drawing command is separated from the graphics drawing command. A graphics drawing unit obtains the result of graphics drawing in accordance with the graphics drawing command. A moving image drawing unit generates moving image data processed in accordance with the moving image drawing command. A composition unit composes the result of graphics drawing by the graphics drawing unit with the moving image data generated by the moving image drawing unit.

Abstract: An image-processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a determining unit determining a type of image data; a holding unit holding color value for the still images, and holding a ratio for the moving image for each moving image, an updating unit updating the color value and the ratio, and a display unit displaying composite image data. For each piece of image data to be drawn, the updating unit updates each ratio based on a transmittance of the image data, updates the color value and a transmittance of a still image when it is a still image, and updates the color value data based on a transmittance of a moving image, and causes the transmittance to be further held as a ratio of the moving image when it is a moving image. The display unit displays the composite image data using the color value and the ratio.

Abstract: A digital camera according to this invention includes an image data memory unit which stores sensed image data, an output information memory unit which stores output information describing an image output method, an image data selector which selects designated image data as an output target from image data stored in the image data memory unit, and an output unit which outputs the image data selected by the image data selector in accordance with the output information stored in the output information memory unit.

Abstract: A rendering processing device which performs rendering processes of a plurality of inputted rendering process commands, categorizes the plurality of rendering process commands into a plurality of rendering command groups, assigns computation resources in order to execute rendering process commands for each of the plurality of rendering command groups, generates images by performing rendering processes based on the rendering process commands included in the rendering command groups, using the computation resources assigned, stores the images generated for each of the plurality of rendering command groups in a memory, and composites the images stored in the memory for each of the rendering command groups, wherein more computational resources are assigned to the rendering command group with higher priority.
