  • Patent number: 10291824
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an image processing device includes a document read unit, a display unit, input receiving unit, an image processing unit, and image forming unit. The document read unit reads a document. The display unit displays a read image that is read by the document read unit. The input receiving unit receives user's input of information at any position on the read image that is displayed on the display unit. The image processing unit masks at least part of the read image based on the information received by the input receiving unit. The image forming unit conducts image formation of the read image that is masked by the image processing unit.
