Image processing apparatus, certification photograph taking apparatus, and certification photograph creation system
View Patent ↗A certification photograph creation system includes a certification photograph taking apparatus, an image input apparatus to input a photographed image, an image processing apparatus and a printer to output an image that has been subjected to the image processing as a certification photograph. The certification photograph taking apparatus includes an input device to input an identification code that indicates a use of a print and optionally a print size. The image taking apparatus, the image processing apparatus and the certification photograph creation system are capable of simplifying the processes of taking and/or creating the certification photograph.
1. A certification photograph taking apparatus comprising:
an inputting device for inputting an identification code to a desired frame of a plurality of frames of an image recording medium, wherein the identification code is input when taking a photograph of a subject, the identification code selectively indicates that the photographed subject image of the desired frame is used in a reproduced print for at least a certification photograph.
2. The certification photograph taking apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said inputting device further inputs a print size of said reproduced print indicated for is said certification photograph.
3. The certification photograph taking apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
taking means for directly taking said photograph of said subject for said certification photograph; and
recording means for recording said identification code input by said inputting device in connection with said photographed subject image for said certification photograph by said taking means.
4. The certification photograph taking apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein
said inputting device further inputs a print size of said reproduced print indicated for said certification photograph, and
said recording means records said print size as well as said identification code input by said inputting device in connection with said photographed subject image.
5. The certification photograph taking apparatus according to claim 3 , further including:
the recording medium in which said photographed subject image by said taking means is recorded; and
a code recording portion in which said identification code is recorded by said recording means in connection with said photographed subject image.
6. The certification photograph taking apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
said recording medium is a photographic film loaded detachably,
said code recording portion is provided on said photographic film,
said photographed subject image is optically printed on said photographic film by said taking means, and
said identification code is optically or magnetically recorded on said code recording portion of said photographic film by said recording means.
7. The certification photograph taking apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
said recording medium is a photographic film loaded detachably,
said code recording portion is provided on a Patrone in which said photographic film is accommodated,
said photographed subject image is optically printed on said photographic film by said taking means, and
said identification code is magnetically or electrically recorded on said code recording portion of said Patrone by said recording means.
8. The certification photograph taking apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
said recording medium is an image data storage medium loaded detachably,
said code recording portion is in said image data storage medium,
said photographed subject image is recorded as digital image data on said image data storage medium by said taking means; and
said identification code is recorded as digital data on said code recording portion of said image data storage medium by said recording means.
9. The certification photograph taking apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
said identification code is a code indicating that image processing is performed in an image processing apparatus for subjecting image data of said photograph subject image to predetermined image processing to create output image data in order to obtain said reproduced print indicated for said certification photograph after taking said photograph of said subject, wherein
said image processing comprising:
extracting a main subject from said input data; and
determining a print magnification and a frame position in accordance with a size of said extracted main subject and a previously designated print size.
10. A certification photograph taking apparatus comprising:
taking means for directly taking a photograph of a subject for a certification photograph; and
an inputting device for inputting an identification code to a desired frame of a plurality of frames of an image recording medium, wherein the identification code is input when taking a photograph of a subject, the identification code selectively indicates that the photographed subject image of the desired frame by said taking means is used in a reproduced print for at least a certification photograph,
wherein said identification code input by said inputting device is recorded in connection with said photographed subject image for said certification photograph by said taking means.
11. The certification photograph taking apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein
said inputting device further inputs a print size of said reproduced print indicated for said certification photograph, and
said print size is recorded together with said identification code in connection with said photographed subject image.
