Abstract

A display unit having an image display area for displaying an image, an operation unit by which a predetermined area in the image display area is designated in a movable manner, and a filter unit performing filter processing on the image corresponding to the predetermined area designated in the movable manner by the operation unit. Accordingly, it is possible to easily perform an operation of overlapping a plurality of filter effects, and a comparison of images based on the presence/absence of a filter effect, or different filter effects, without performing a complicated filter operation.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic camera comprising:

a display having an image display area for displaying an image and a filter list display area displaying a list of at least one type of the filter processing:

an operation interface configured to designate an area in the image display area in a movable manner; and

a filter processor configured to perform filter processing on the image corresponding to the area designated in the movable manner by the operation interface, wherein:

the filter list display areas are disposed on at least a first side and a second side, respectively, of the image display area, and a list of at least one type of the filter processing is displayed on each of the filter list display areas;

the operation interface operates a type of filter displayed at the first side to make a first area to be designated in a movable manner on the image display area, and operates a type of filter displayed at the second side to make a second area to be designated in a movable manner on the image display area; and

the filter processor performs first filter processing on the image corresponding to the first area, performs second filter processing on the image corresponding to the second area, and performs the first filter processing and the second filter processing on the image corresponding to an area in which the first area and the second area are overlapped.

2. The electronic camera according to claim 1 , wherein

when a first boundary line being a boundary line between the area after performing the filter processing on the image by the operation interface and an area on which no filter processing is performed, and a second boundary line which is orthogonal to the first boundary line are set, the filter processor cancels the filter processing with respect to an area within the area from a position at which the setting of the second boundary line is started to the second boundary line.

3. An electronic camera, comprising:

a display having an image display area for displaying an image;

a filter processor configured to perform filter processing on the image displayed on the display; and

an operation interface configured to scroll, on the image displayed in the image display area, filter layers continuously connected for each width of the image display area to filter areas on which a plurality of types of filter processing are performed, wherein

the filter processor performs on the image different types of filter processing designated in the continuous filter area during a scroll, the continuous filter area is operated by the operation interface on the image display area.
