Nowadays, with the rapid development of technology, electronic products have become an indispensable part of life, so there have been many changes from traditional cameras to modern digital cameras. For the increasingly popular digital camera, it has the advantages of no need for negative film and no need for printing. Its economy and maneuverability are better than traditional cameras, so the scene of digital camera is more commonly used. To create a photo database and create a web page, the digital camera has become a must-have tool for modern people. Since the digital camera can provide the high resolution and high image quality of the traditional camera, it only needs to match the printing quality and the image level of the digital camera. When the output device is used, the traditional camera can be completely replaced. However, the general photo processing shop provides the production of traditional photos or the production of fine photographic photos taken by digital cameras. This is not possible for general users to use the general color list machine. Therefore, it is necessary to use a better color list machine and expensive colors. The list machine is not affordable to the average user, so the photo wash/wash shop does exist. ‘But the photo processing shop's complicated process of photographic processing and photo-repairing photos relies on a large number of technicians to produce a photo quality that a consumer can receive. This will only make a small amount of photo-to-photo
