Description

  The present invention relates to an image print processing device, and more specifically, an image in which an image read by an image reading device is appropriately captured via a control device and then recorded on a removable recording medium such as a CD-R. The present invention relates to a print processing apparatus.

In general, this type of image print processing apparatus reads an image reading apparatus for reading a frame image of a developed film, reads image data recorded on various removable recording media, and writes image data to the recording medium. An image data read / write device, an exposure device for printing an image read by the image reading device on paper such as photographic paper, a development processing device for developing photographic paper exposed by the exposure device, A control device for controlling these various components is mounted. (See Patent Document 1)
In order to create a print using the above image print processing device, for example, the image of the developed film is read by the image reading device, the image is displayed on the monitor screen, and the operator edits the image as appropriate while viewing the monitor screen. After the image is taken into the control device, the image is printed, and the image data taken into the control device is written on a removable recording medium such as a CD-R by the image data read / write device. We are providing recording media to customers.

  By the way, in the above conventional image print processing apparatus, when the reading of the image read by the image reading apparatus to the control apparatus is completed, the order of writing to the removable recording medium such as a CD-R and the image to be written are determined at that time. Therefore, after the image is taken into the control device, the image cannot be re-edited.

For this reason, in the conventional image print processing apparatus, when the image data is written into a removable recording medium such as a CD-R after the image has been taken into the control apparatus, the film mask unit is used when scanning a film, for example. When the film is loaded in the wrong direction, the image is upside down, and it is found that the images cannot be read in the order of shooting. When editing the images, all images previously read by the image reading device are canceled. As a result, the work of reading the frame image of the developed film again by the image reading device has to be started again, and the workability is very poor.

  The scanner 22 mounted on the image processor 2 sets the developed film on the film mask unit 21 to irradiate the developed film set on the film mask unit 21 with the light from the light source unit 21a. The images D of each frame are sequentially read and output to the image processing unit 24.

  The image data read / write device 23 is mounted with a CD-R device 23a, a flexible disk device 23b, a smart media device 23c, and other various recording media.

  The image processing unit 24 performs various image processing on the image data read by the scanner 22 or the reading device 23.

  The image processing unit 24 displays a main controller 25 as a control device including a computer installed with image processing software, a keyboard 26a and a mouse 26b for inputting various information to the main controller 25, and various information. And a monitor 27 as a display device.

  The image data read by the scanner 22 or the image data read / write device 23 is appropriately processed by the main controller 25 based on a predetermined processing program and various types of information such as a print size input by the keyboard 26a or the mouse 26b. The data is taken into the storage unit 28 of the controller 25 and is sequentially output as print data to a later-described sub-controller 30 mounted on the printer 3.

  The printer 3 is for printing the print data created by the image processing unit 24 of the image processing machine 2 on the photographic printing paper P, and the sub controller 30 for inputting the print data output from the image processing unit 24. Paper magazines 31a and 31b filled with rolls of photographic paper P, a transport mechanism 32 for transporting the photographic paper P fed from the paper magazines 31a and 31b, and a print transported by the transport mechanism 32 An exposure mechanism 33 for exposing the image data to the paper P via the sub-controller 30 is mounted.

  In the printer 3, as the print data output from the main controller 25 is input to the sub-controller 30, the sub-controller 30 generates exposure data based on the input print data, and the exposure mechanism 33. To be output.

  The processor 4 develops a photographic printing paper P on which the image D is printed by the printer 3, and a drying processing mechanism 42 for drying the photographic paper P developed by the development processing mechanism 41. And an unloading mechanism 43 for unloading the print PR completed by the drying process.

In the image processing apparatus 1 having the above configuration, in the embodiment shown in the figure, on the program of the main controller 25,
An image display function 5 for displaying a list of images captured in the storage unit 28 of the main controller 25 on the monitor 27 at the time of recording and saving in the removable recording medium after the capture of the image D by the main controller 25 is completed;
A stored image editing function 6 for editing each image displayed by the image display function 5 is constructed.

  The stored image editing function 6 shown in the figure is constructed by a rearrangement function unit 6a for each image, a rotation function unit 6b for each image, and a deletion function unit 6c for each image D.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 9, the screen displayed on the monitor 27 by the image display function 5 is given in addition to the order number, corresponding to each image D, and the frame number and the image are captured. The file name is displayed.

  Further, on the above-described screen, a function button 7a for rotating the image D, a function button 7b for deleting the image, a function button 7c for changing the order of the image D, and writing to the recording medium are performed. A function button 7d and a function button 7e for canceling writing to the recording medium are displayed. By clicking these function buttons 7a to 7e, the respective functions are executed.

  Next, a case where a CD-R storing prints and images from a developed film cut every six frames by the image print processing apparatus 1 having the above configuration will be described.

  When the image D is captured by the scanner 22, the developed film on which the image D of the seventh frame to the twelfth frame has been copied is erroneously loaded into the scanner 22 upside down, and the seventh to twelfth frames are loaded. In the following description, it is assumed that these images are upside down and the images of the 12th frame are taken in order up to the 7th frame.

  First, a plurality of developed films cut every six frames by the scanner 22 are sequentially loaded into the film mask unit 21, and the frame images in each film are sequentially read by the scanner 22, and the read image D is read by the image processing unit. 24, while arbitrarily editing brightness, color tone, and the like, the data is captured in the storage unit 28 of the main controller 25.

  At the stage when the image capturing operation for one order is completed, the operator issues a print command to the main controller 25 via the keyboard 26a, whereby each frame image is printed on the printing paper P by the printer 3. Then, the development process is performed by the processor 4 to finish the print PR.

  On the other hand, when the image D captured in the storage unit 28 of the main controller 25 at the stage when the print command to the main controller 25 is completed is recorded and stored in the CD-R, first, the image data read / write device 23a for CD-R is used. The CD-R disc is loaded and the operation is switched to the recording / storing operation by operating the keyboard 26a. First, the screen of the monitor 27 is displayed on the storage unit of the main controller 25 in accordance with the switching to the recording / storing operation screen. 28 displays a message as to whether or not to edit the captured image.

  When “do not edit” is selected, the image D is recorded as it is on the CD-R set in the image data read / write device 23a, whereas when “edit” is selected. The screen of the monitor 27 is switched to the record storage work screen shown in FIG. 3, and the operator edits each image as appropriate on the record storage work screen.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3, since the images from the seventh frame to the twelfth frame are reversed upside down and the images from the 12th frame to the seventh frame are taken in order, it is necessary to correct this. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, first, the image D with the frame number “12” and the image D with “7” are designated, and the function button 7c for changing the order of the images D is clicked. As shown, the image D is replaced with a frame number, and the file name corresponding to the replaced image D is changed.

  Subsequently, the image D having the frame number “11” and the image D having the frame number “8”, and the image D having the frame number “10” and the image D having the frame number “9” are also replaced by the same operation as described above and the file name is changed. As a result, the images D from the seventh frame to the twelfth frame are rearranged in the shooting order as shown in FIG.

  Next, the seventh to twelfth frame images that are upside down are designated in sequence, and when the function button 7a for rotating the image D is clicked, as shown in FIGS. The images of the 12th frame from the first frame are sequentially rotated by 180 degrees, so that the images of the 7th to 12th frames are in the correct posture as shown in FIG.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the 18th frame image D is deleted by designating the 18th frame image D for which shooting has failed and clicking the function button 7b for deleting the image. It is.

  When the editing of each image D is completed, when the function button 7d for writing to the recording medium is clicked, the edited image D is recorded on the CD-R set in the image data read / write device 23a. It is preserved.

  Thus, in the image print processing apparatus 1 described above, even when the image data is recorded and stored in the recording medium after the storage to the storage unit 28 of the main controller 25 is completed, editing can be performed for each image D to be stored. When the image data is written on a removable recording medium such as a CD-R, for example, when scanning a film, the direction of loading the film into the film mask unit is wrong, the image is upside down, and the images are in the order of shooting. If it is determined that the image cannot be read and it is desired to edit the image, it is not necessary to read the frame image of the developed film again by the scanner 22 as in the prior art. It came to improve.

  In the above embodiment, recording and storage are performed on a CD-R disc. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, recording and storage may be performed on other removable recording media such as a DVD-R.
