Abstract: An apparatus has a reproducing unit configured to reproduce, when attribute information is designated, an image having the designated attribute information. When attribute information is newly designated during reproduction performed by the reproducing unit, the image reproducing apparatus determines whether to cancel the reproduction according to a relationship between already designated attribute information and newly designated attribute information.

Abstract: An image reproducing apparatus includes a display unit configured to display image data recorded on a recording medium, an instructing unit configured to instruct to change attribute information of image data displayed on the display unit, and an attribute information recording unit configured to record the attribute information instructed to be changed on the recording medium when an operation is performed on image data to be displayed on the display unit.

Abstract: An apparatus designates a key for searching for an image, and acquires attribute information based on the designated key and image information on an image having the attribute information. The apparatus displays an amount of images classified into a group corresponding to the attribute information based on the acquired attribute information and the acquired image information.

Abstract: In a projection exposure device in which an exposure light from a light source device is transmitted through a mask having a predetermined pattern formed therein and then an image of a mask pattern is focused by a projection lens on an exposure member held by a holding mechanism, an exposure light is emitted from the light source device along a horizontal optical axis. The mask, the projection lens and the exposure member are disposed on the horizontal optical axis and the holding mechanism is formed such that the exposure member is movable at least within a plane perpendicular to the horizontal optical axis. The distortion of the exposure member can be prevented to enable exposure at high accuracy and, also, with high throughput by holding the exposure member vertically, mask alignment is facilitated, the effect of heat from the light source can be minimized, and the size and the cost of the device can be reduced.
