Abstract: An image processing apparatus has an image processing section for synthesizing image information in the form of digital signals and template information. The apparatus stores in advance the template information having a reference posture set to correspond to either a horizontal posture or a vertical posture of the image information. The vertical and horizontal postures have different vertical and horizontal sizes from each other. The template information thus stored is rotated by rotation processing section in accordance with the posture of the image information. During this rotation process, the template information is converted by a conversion processing section according to a predetermined rule.

Abstract: A digital exposure type photo processing apparatus having an illuminating optical system (30) for emitting light to a film (1), a photoelectric converter (50) for reading light transmitted through the film and converting the light into image data, an image processing device (60) for processing the image data to generate print data, and a digital printer (4) for exposing photographic paper based on the print data. The photoelectric converter (50) reads the transmitted light in a size larger than each image frame of said film, and converts the light into image data. The image processing device (60) includes an actual image extractor (62) for dividing the image data into actual image data corresponding to the image frame, and peripheral image data corresponding to regions around the image frame. The print data is generated from the actual image data so obtained.
