Abstract: In a user interface apparatus, when a selected position of a to-be-processed image displayed on a display screen is detected through an area detecting unit, a menu display unit displays, in response to the detection of the selected position on the to-be-processed image, a link to at least one setting item being displayed in response to the selected position, the at least one setting item corresponding to a setting available for a setting area which corresponds to the selected position, where an order of display priority of the at least one setting item is determined by a size of the setting area. A determining unit determines that the setting item is specified, and an accepting unit accepts the setting corresponding to the setting item for the to-be-processed image. A preview display unit displays a preview indicating a result of processing the to-be-processed image based on the setting item.

Abstract: A finished-image generating unit generates a finished image showing a result of a process performed on a target image according to various function setting items. A finished-image display unit, when the target image extends to a plurality of pages, forms the finished image in a stack, and displays the stacked finished image on a display unit with a page structure image that shows an overall page structure of the stacked finished image. A page moving unit, when one of the pages constituting the page structure image is specified via an operating unit, executes a page moving from a page currently displayed on the display unit to the specified page.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a preview generating unit configured to generate, based on image data, a preview image that is expected to be output; an attribute extracting unit configured to extract an attribute of at least one portion in the image data; a display unit configured to display the preview image; a position-information obtaining unit configured to obtain position information indicative of a position of a specified portion in the preview image; and a processing unit configured to perform, on the image data, a process according to an attribute that corresponds to the position.

Abstract: A finished-image generating unit generates a finished image showing a result of a process performed on a target image. A transparent-finished-image generating unit generates, when the target image extends to a plurality of pages, a transparent finished image by adjusting a transparency of a non-image portion of the finished image to a predetermined transparency. A transparent-finished-image display unit forms the transparent finished image in a stack, and displays the stacked transparent finished image on a display unit in such a manner that an image portion of the transparent finished image is seen through the non-image portion.

Abstract: An image processing unit executes an image process on a target image based on process-setting contents, and generates a processed image. An area extracting unit compares the processed image with the target image, and extracts a partial area of a predetermined size showing a notable effect of the image process executed on the target image, as a checking area. A checking-image display unit displays the processed image corresponding to the extracted checking area on a display unit, as a checking image for checking the process-setting contents of the image process.

Abstract: In a user interface apparatus, when a position of a to-be-processed image displayed on a display screen is specified through an area specifying unit, a position detecting unit detects the position specified through the area specifying unit. A menu display unit displays at least one setting item associated with a setting area corresponding to the position. A determining unit determines that the setting item is specified, and an accepting unit accepts a setting corresponding to the setting item for the to-be-processed image. A preview display unit displays a preview indicating a result of processing the to-be-processed image based on the setting item.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a preview generating unit configured to generate, based on image data, a preview image that is expected to be output; an attribute extracting unit configured to extract an attribute of at least one portion in the image data; a display unit configured to display the preview image; a position-information obtaining unit configured to obtain position information indicative of a position of a specified portion in the preview image; and a processing unit configured to perform, on the image data, a process according to an attribute that corresponds to the position.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a unit acquiring a multi-level image as a processing-object image, a unit acquiring a binary image which is created based on the multi-level image, a unit extracting a specific attribute region which is a region with a specific attribute from the multi-level image, a unit changing pixels other than the specific attribute region in the binary image to white pixels, a unit creating a multi-level image in which the pixels of the specific attribute region are changed by a background color, a unit determining a color of the specific attribute region, a unit creating an image of the specific attribute region having the color determined, an image coding unit carrying out compression coding of two or more images which are created respectively, and a unit creating an integrated file in which the coded images are integrated.
