  As will be described later, before editing, the user selects the captured image P12. The selection of the image is performed by selecting a predetermined image from a plurality of images generated by changing the parameters that define the image.

  Here, the reflection represents a visual impression including how the captured image looks, more specifically, the appearance and the photographic appearance of the subject. The change of the parameter defining the reflection corresponds to image processing for changing the appearance of the whole or a part of the photographed image based on the photographed image. The change of the parameters that define the reflection is an image process that is different from the above-described editing in that it is based only on the photographed image and does not use a composition image or the like.

  The edit control unit 252 also changes such parameters according to the operation by the user. Also, the edit control unit 252 outputs the mobile transmission image generated during editing to the post-selection control unit 254.

  The editing process controlled by the editing control unit 252 includes an image process for changing a parameter that defines a captured image, an edit (graffiti) for generating an edited image by synthesizing an image for synthesis, etc., with the captured image, and an edited image. This includes selection of layout when printing on sticker paper.

  The print control unit 253 in FIG. 9 controls the printer 241 to perform print processing.

  The post-selection control unit 254 performs post-selection processing by controlling the tablet built-in monitor 141 of the post-selection processing unit 210. Through the post-selection process, the mobile transmission image supplied from the editing control unit 252 is transmitted to the server.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the editing control unit 252.

  The edit control unit 252 includes a change processing unit 261, a display control unit 262, and an edited image generation unit 263. At the start of the editing process, the captured image obtained by the imaging process is supplied from the imaging control unit 251 to the editing control unit 252. In the shooting process, a plurality of shots are taken, and a plurality of shot images are input to the change processing unit 261 and the display control unit 262 of the editing control unit 252.

  The change processing unit 261 acquires a plurality of captured images and performs image processing for changing parameters that define the captured image. For example, the change processing unit 261 performs a plurality of types of image processing on a single captured image selected from a plurality of captured images using parameters having different degrees. The image processing by the change processing unit 261 generates a plurality of images having the same composition but different reflections based on one photographed image.

  Hereinafter, a result image generated by appropriately changing a parameter that defines a captured image is referred to as a “change result image”.

  In addition, changing the parameters that prescribe the captured image as appropriate and performing image processing is referred to as “adjustment of the image”.

  A plurality of change result images having different images are displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131 and used as a sample for selecting which image is better. The change processing unit 261 outputs a plurality of change result images generated by performing image processing to the display control unit 262.

  When a predetermined image is selected, the change processing unit 261 performs the same image processing on each of the plurality of captured images using the same parameters as those used to generate the change result image of the selected image. . The change processing unit 261 outputs a plurality of change result images obtained by performing image processing to the same image to the edited image generation unit 263.

  The display control unit 262 controls the display on the tablet built-in monitor 131. For example, the display control unit 262 displays the reflection selection screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131 before displaying the editing screen. The reflection selection screen is a screen used by the user to select a desired reflection.

  The display control unit 262 displays a plurality of change result images generated based on one photographed image side by side and displays thumbnails of the plurality of photographed images supplied from the photography control unit 251 on the reflection selection screen. Display. In addition, the display control unit 262 displays the editing screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131 when the adjustment of the image finishes.

  The edited image generation unit 263 edits the captured image (change result image) supplied from the change processing unit 261 in accordance with a user operation. The edited image generating unit 263 outputs the edited image generated by performing editing such as combining the images for synthesis to the display control unit 262 and displays the edited image on the editing screen. When the editing process ends, the edited image generation unit 263 outputs the generated plurality of edited images to the print control unit 253.

<< Operation of Photo Sticker Making Device >>
<Photo sticker creation process>
Next, the operation of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 having the above configuration will be described.

  First, a series of processes of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 that provides a sticker creating game will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The process of FIG. 12 is started when a predetermined amount of coins is inserted into the coin insertion slot 114.

  In step S1, the imaging control unit 251 performs an imaging process. In the photographing process, a user in the photographing space A1 is photographed. Details of the photographing process will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S2, the imaging control unit 251 guides the user in the imaging space A1 to move to the editing space A2-1 or the editing space A2-2. The guidance for moving to the editing space A2-1 or the editing space A2-2 is performed by displaying a screen on the touch panel monitor 92 or by outputting sound from the speaker 224.

  In step S3, the editing control unit 252 edits the editing processing unit 209A or the editing processing unit corresponding to the editing space of the editing space A2-1 and the editing space A2-2 that is the destination of the user who has finished shooting. 209B is controlled to perform editing processing.

  In the editing process, the editing control unit 252 displays a reflection selection screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131, and selects the reflection of the captured image. The editing control unit 252 displays an editing screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131, and edits a captured image in accordance with a user operation performed using the touch pens 132A and 132B. The captured image to be edited is an image after adjustment of the image. Details of the editing process will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S4, the editing control unit 252 guides the user who has finished the editing process to move to the print waiting space A3. The movement guidance to the print waiting space A3 is performed by displaying a screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131 or by outputting sound from the speaker 231.

  In step S5, the print control unit 253 prints the edited image on the sticker sheet according to the layout selected by the user. The layout is selected using a screen displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131 after editing, for example. When a layout is selected, print data is generated by the edit control unit 252 and the edited image is printed on sticker paper.

  In step S6, the post-selection control unit 254 performs post-selection processing for the user who is waiting for printing to end. The post-selection control unit 254 performs a post-selection process such as a process of transmitting an image for mobile transmission to the server.

  When the printing is finished, in step S7, the post-selection control unit 254 discharges the sticker paper on which the image is printed to the sticker paper discharge port 142, and the process is finished.

<Example of shooting process>
Next, the photographing process performed in step S1 of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 21, the imaging control unit 251 displays a course selection screen on the touch panel monitor 92. The course selection screen is a screen used for selecting a shooting course. The photography courses provided by the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 include two types of courses: a beauty course that is a first course and an edgy course that is a second course.

  The beauty course is a course in which an up image is captured five times in which the range above the user's approximate chest is large. On the other hand, the edgy course is a course in which an up image is taken three times and a whole body image is taken twice.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of an up image and a whole body image.

  The image shown in FIG. 14A is an up image. When the up image is taken, a predetermined range of the still image taken by the camera 101 is cut out by trimming, and an up image showing the range from the vicinity of the chest of the user to the top of the head as shown in FIG. 14A is obtained. To be acquired.

  The image shown in FIG. 14B is a whole body image. At the time of capturing a whole body image, for example, a still image captured by the camera 101 is used as it is, and an up image showing the whole body of the user as shown in FIG.

  When the beauty course is selected, five up images as shown in FIG. 14A are acquired. When the edgy course is selected, three up images as shown in FIG. 14A are acquired, and two whole body images as shown in FIG. 14B are acquired.

  Note that there is a difference between the shooting when the beauty course is selected and the shooting when the edgy course is selected, such as the presence / absence of a chroma key curtain, the intensity of flash light irradiated during shooting, and the nature of the flash light. In addition, the range to be cut out by trimming may be set obliquely as appropriate, and an up image or a whole body image in which the user appears obliquely may be taken.

  On the course selection screen displayed on the touch panel monitor 92, a button operated when selecting the beauty course and a button operated when selecting the edgy course are displayed. The user selects which shooting course the shooting operation is to be performed by, for example, touching the surface of the touch panel monitor 92 with a finger.

  When the shooting course is selected, in step S22, the shooting control unit 251 starts shooting a moving image with the camera 101 and starts displaying a live view in which the upper body of the user is reflected. The shooting control unit 251 cuts out the same range as the shooting range of the up image from each frame of the moving image shot by the camera 101 and displays it on the touch panel monitor 92.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the live view.

  A live view display area 271 is formed in the approximate center of the touch panel monitor 92. The live view display area 271 is a display area of a live view generated based on a moving image captured by the camera 101.

  In the example of FIG. 15, a moving image in which the upper bodies of two users including the face are reflected up is displayed. Viewing such a live view, the user confirms their image.

  Under the live view display area 271, photographing result display areas 272-1 to 272-5 in which thumbnails of photographed images are displayed are formed side by side. In the photographing result display areas 272-1 to 272-5, thumbnails of photographed images are sequentially displayed every time photographing is performed.

  After a beauty course is selected and a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of live view display, in step S23, the imaging control unit 251 captures the first up image. The shooting control unit 251 displays the thumbnail of the up image obtained as the shooting result in the shooting result display area 272-1 and continues the live view display.

  In addition, before each photographing, a countdown such as “3, 2, 1” is performed by the screen display of the touch panel monitor 92 or the sound from the speaker 224.

  In the beauty course, the shooting of the up image as described above is repeated five times. That is, when a predetermined time elapses after the first image is captured, the imaging control unit 251 captures the second up image in step S24. In steps S25 to S27, the imaging control unit 251 captures the third to fifth up images.

  When the shooting of the up image is repeated five times, in step S28, the shooting control unit 251 stores five shot images. Thereafter, the process returns to step S1 in FIG. 12, and the subsequent processing is performed.

  On the other hand, after a predetermined time elapses after the edgy course is selected and the live view display is started, the imaging control unit 251 captures the first up image in step S29. The shooting control unit 251 displays the thumbnail of the up image obtained as the shooting result in the shooting result display area 272-1 and continues the live view display.

  In steps S30 and S31, the imaging control unit 251 captures the second and third up images.

  In step S <b> 32, the shooting control unit 251 starts displaying a live view in which the whole body of the user is shown based on the moving image shot by the camera 101. Of the five shots performed in the edgy course, the first to third shots are for up-images, and the fourth and fifth shots are for whole-body images. The live view display area 271 of the touch panel monitor 92 displays a live view in which the whole body of the user is shown based on the moving image captured by the camera 101.

  In step S33, the imaging control unit 251 captures the first whole body image. The imaging control unit 251 displays a thumbnail of the whole body image obtained as the imaging result in the imaging result display area 272-4, and continues to display a live view in which the whole body of the user is captured.

  In step S34, the imaging control unit 251 captures the second whole body image when a predetermined time has elapsed since the first whole body image was captured.

  When the photographing of the three up images and the two whole body images is finished, in step S28, the photographing control unit 251 stores those five photographed images. Thereafter, the process returns to step S1 in FIG. 12, and the subsequent processing is performed.

  As described above, in the beauty course, five up images are acquired as shooting results, and in the edgy course, three up images and two whole body images are acquired as shooting results.

<Example of editing process>
Next, the editing process performed in step S3 of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 51, the change processing unit 261 of the editing control unit 252 acquires the five captured images supplied from the shooting control unit 251. The captured image captured by the imaging control unit 251 is also supplied to the display control unit 262.

  In step S52, the change processing unit 261 performs image processing on one photographed image using different parameters, and generates a plurality of change result images having different reflections. For example, before the user selects a photographed image, the first photographed image among the five photographed images is used to generate the change result image.

  The captured image that is determined to be optimal by the change processing unit 261 may be selected as an image that is the basis of the change result image. For example, it is possible to generate a change result image suitable for comparing shots by using a shot image in which the line of sight faces the direction of the camera 101 and a shot image having the largest face in the generation of the change result image. It becomes possible.

  Here, a description will be given of the case where the adjustment of the reflection of the eyes and the adjustment of the brightness of the skin are performed as the adjustment of the reflection of the captured image.

  For example, the adjustment of the image of the eye is performed by changing a parameter that defines the image of the eye of the user's eye area extracted from the captured image, and the area of the eye whose parameter has been changed is changed to the extracted image. Done by compositing. The skin brightness is adjusted by detecting the skin area of the user in the captured image and changing the brightness of the detected area.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of parameters that define the appearance of eyes.

  In the example of FIG. 17, the appearance of the eye is defined by a combination of three types of parameters: eye size, black eye color, and blurring.

  As for the size of the eye, any one of four sizes of “maximum”, “large”, “medium”, and “small” can be used for image processing. Changing the size of the eyes corresponds to each of the maximum, large, medium, and small areas of the eye width, height, and rectangle (vertical width x width) that circumscribes the eye. By changing it at a predetermined rate.

  As the color of the black eye, any one of two colors “black” and “brown” can be used for image processing. The eye color is changed by at least one of changing a predetermined color component of the pixel corresponding to the pupil and changing the brightness of the pixel corresponding to the pupil. Changing the color component can adjust the color more precisely than changing the lightness.

  The presence / absence of blur represents whether or not blur processing is performed on at least a part of the eye such as the contour of the eye. By performing the blurring process, the contrast of the outline of the eyes is lowered.

  In the example of FIG. 17, four types of shots with names “natural EYE”, “recommended EYE”, “light volume EYE”, and “volume EYE” are prepared. The user can select a predetermined shot from four types of shots.

  “Natural EYE” is an image defined by a combination of “small” eye size, “black” black eye color, and “no” blurring.

  “Recommended EYE” is an image defined by a combination of “medium” for the eye size, “black” for the black eye color, and “no” for blurring.

  “Light volume EYE” is an image defined by a combination of “large” for the eye size, “brown” for the color of the black eye, and “present” for the presence or absence of blurring.

  “Volume EYE” is a picture defined by a combination of “maximum” eye size, “black” black eye color, and “no” blurring.

  The parameters that define the appearance of the eyes are not limited to three types, and may be defined by more parameters. Also, five or more types of eye shots are prepared, and the user may select the eye shots from among them.

  It is also possible to prepare values for each parameter other than those shown in FIG. 17 and combine them to define the type of eye exposure. You can prepare and present a predetermined type of reflection, and let the user select from them, or let the user create the type of reflection by combining the values of each parameter, and create it yourself It is also possible to select the reflection of the eyes.

  The change processing unit 261 extracts an eye region that appears in one photographed image, and performs image processing using a combination of parameters.

  For example, the change processing unit 261 changes the parameters by setting the size of the extracted eye region to “small”, the black eye color to “black”, and the blur to “none”. The change processing unit 261 reduces the size of the extracted eye area in accordance with the set parameters and performs image processing to change the color of the black eye to black, thereby changing the result of the change in the image of the eyes to “natural EYE”. Generate an image.

  The change result images of “recommended EYE”, “light volume EYE”, and “volume EYE” are similarly generated. The change processing unit 261 outputs four change result images generated based on one photographed image to the display control unit 262.

  In step S53, the display control unit 262 displays a reflection selection screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. The reflection selection screen displayed here is a screen used for selecting the reflection of the eyes.

<First embodiment>
FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of a reflection selection screen.

  In the upper center of the reflection selection screen, a message prompting to select the reflection of the eyes is displayed. Under the message, change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4 are formed side by side. In the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4, a change result image representing the image of “natural EYE”, a change result image representing the image of “recommended EYE”, and a “light volume EYE”, respectively. A change result image representing the image of the eye and a change result image representing the image of the eye of “volume EYE” are displayed.

  Above each area, the name of the eye of the change result image displayed in each area is displayed. An icon 302 indicating a recommended image is displayed on the upper right of the change result image indicating the image of “light volume EYE”.

  Since the images are generated based on the same single photographed image, the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4 have the same composition but are displayed side by side with different eyes. become. Slightly different eye sizes and line densities in the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4 indicate images generated by image processing using different parameters.

  In the example of FIG. 18, the image of “Recommended EYE” is selected, and the cursor C is displayed so as to surround the change result display area 301-2. The user can select another image by selecting another change result image using the touch pens 132A and 132B.

  Below the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4, thumbnail display areas 303-1 to 303-5 are formed side by side. Thumbnail display areas 303-1 to 303-5 are display areas for thumbnails representing captured images. A thumbnail is an image generated by reducing the original image or reducing the resolution. When an image is selected using a thumbnail image on the copy selection screen of FIG. 18, the display of the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4 is switched.

  In the thumbnail display areas 303-1 to 303-5, thumbnails of five photographed images are displayed in the order of photographing. The thumbnail display areas 303-1 to 303-5 are smaller than the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4, respectively.

  In the example of FIG. 18, thumbnails of an up image showing the upper body of one person are displayed in the thumbnail display areas 303-1 to 303-5. The reflection selection screen shown in FIG. 18 is a screen when the beauty course is selected as the shooting course.

  In the example of FIG. 18, the thumbnail of the first photographed image displayed in the thumbnail display area 303-1 is selected from the five thumbnails and displayed with high contrast. An icon 304 displayed below the thumbnail display area 303-1 indicates that the first photographed image is being selected. By displaying the icon 304, it is possible to present the selected image more clearly to the user without displaying the cursor so as to surround the selected thumbnail image.

  In FIG. 18, the dark display of the thumbnail displayed in the thumbnail display area 303-1 indicates that the thumbnail of the first photographed image is displayed with high contrast. Further, the thin display of the thumbnails displayed in the thumbnail display areas 303-2 to 303-5 indicates that the thumbnails of the second to fifth shot images are displayed with low contrast.

  As described above, the thumbnails of the five photographed images are displayed side by side on the image selection screen, and the change result image generated based on one photographed image selected from the five photographed images is displayed. They are displayed side by side.

  The user can switch the change result images to be displayed in the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4 by selecting the thumbnails displayed in the thumbnail display areas 303-1 to 303-5. The thumbnail display areas 303-1 to 303-5 are also areas for receiving selection of change result images to be displayed in the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4.

  For example, when a thumbnail in the thumbnail display area 303-2 is selected, the change result images generated based on the second photographed image are displayed in the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4. Further, the display of the thumbnail display areas 303-1 to 303-5 is also switched, and the thumbnail of the second photographed image being selected is displayed with high contrast.

  On the right side of the thumbnail display areas 303-1 to 303-5, an OK button 305 that is operated to confirm the appearance of the eyes is displayed. When the OK button 305 is operated using the touch pens 132A and 132B, the image on which the cursor C is applied is selected.

  By displaying such a reflection selection screen, the user can compare images before and after adjustment of the reflection.

  In addition, since the change result images generated using different parameters are displayed side by side, the user can relatively evaluate the difference in each image.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating another display example of the reflection selection screen.

  The reflection selection screen of FIG. 19 is different from the screen of FIG. 18 in that an icon representing the reflection of eyes is displayed on each change result image. Further, the arrangement order of the change result images on the copy selection screen in FIG. 19 is different from the arrangement order in FIG. The overlapping description will be omitted as appropriate. The same applies to the following description of the reflection selection screen.

  The change result image displayed in the change result display area 301-1 is a change result image representing the appearance of the “volume EYE”. The icon 311-1 displayed on the change result display area 301-1 represents the eye of “volume EYE”.

  The change result image displayed in the change result display area 301-2 is a change result image representing the appearance of “natural EYE”. An icon 311-2 displayed on the change result display area 301-2 represents the image of “natural EYE”.

  The change result image displayed in the change result display area 301-3 is a change result image representing the appearance of “Recommended EYE”. An icon 311-3 displayed on the change result display area 301-3 represents the image of “Recommended EYE”.

  The change result image displayed in the change result display area 301-4 is a change result image representing the appearance of the “light volume EYE”. An icon 311-4 displayed on the change result display area 301-4 represents the image of the “light volume EYE”.

  In this manner, not only the change result image but also an icon representing the appearance of the eyes may be displayed. As a result, the user can intuitively confirm the type of eye reflection.

  In this way, the display control unit 262 can also display the change result images in an appropriate order according to operability, user preference, and the like.

  For example, the display control unit 262 can display the change result images in ascending order of eye size. In this case, for example, in order from the left, change result images of “natural EYE”, “recommended EYE”, “light volume EYE”, and “volume EYE” are displayed.

  In addition, the display control unit 262 can display the change result images in the order of the flashy impression (smooth feeling) of the eyes. In this case, for example, sequentially from the left, change result images of “volume EYE”, “light volume EYE”, “recommended EYE”, and “natural EYE” are displayed.

  The display control unit 262 can change the arrangement of the change result images according to the age of the user. The user's age is selected by the user, for example, using a screen displayed before adjustment of the image. The age of the user may be specified by analyzing the captured image.

  Instead of the four fixed types of “Natural EYE”, “Recommended EYE”, “Light Volume EYE”, and “Volume EYE”, prepare multiple types of results adjusted with appropriate parameter values according to age. You may make it display. The adjustment of the parameter value may be determined based on a selection rate for each age, or may be determined based on a questionnaire result.

  For example, when the age of the user is a teenager, change result images of “volume EYE”, “light volume EYE”, “recommended EYE”, and “natural EYE” are displayed in order from the left, for example. When the user's age is in his / her 20s or later, for example, change result images of “natural EYE”, “recommended EYE”, “light volume EYE”, and “volume EYE” are displayed sequentially from the left.

  You may make it determine the arrangement | sequence order of a change result image using other criteria, such as the selection rate for every housing | casing, the selection rate in the area where the photo sticker production apparatus 1 is installed.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating another display example of the reflection selection screen.

  The change result image shown in FIG. 20 is obtained by performing image processing using different parameters on one photographed image, and adjusting the image center of the face from the photographed image obtained by adjusting the image appearance obtained by performing the image processing. It is the image produced | generated by cutting out the range made into by trimming. The range displayed on the thumbnail is different from the range displayed on the change result image.

  A change result image may be generated by trimming a range centering on a person's face by trimming and adjusting the appearance of eyes appearing in the image of the trimmed range.

  Thereby, the user can confirm in detail the difference in the reflection of each eye.

  In step S54 of FIG. 16, the change processing unit 261 determines whether a different captured image has been selected.

  When it is determined in step S54 that a predetermined thumbnail has been selected and a different captured image has been selected, the process returns to step S52, and the change processing unit 261 generates a change result image based on the newly selected captured image. In step S53, the display control unit 262 displays the newly generated change result images side by side in the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4.

  Thereby, the user can switch the change result image to be displayed in the change result display areas 301-1 to 301-4.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S54 that a different captured image has not been selected, in step S55, the change processing unit 261 determines whether or not the reflection of the eye has been selected. When the OK button 305 is pressed, it is determined that the image of the eye has been selected.

  If it is determined in step S55 that the image of the eye is not selected, the process returns to step S54, and the subsequent processing is repeated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S55 that the image of the eye is selected, in step S56, the change processing unit 261 adjusts the brightness of the skin of the captured image used for selecting the image of the eye.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 18, when a predetermined image is selected in a state where the first captured image is displayed, the change processing unit 261 applies skin change to the first captured image. Image processing for changing the brightness is performed, and a plurality of change result images having different skin brightness are generated. The change processing unit 261 outputs the generated change result image to the display control unit 262 as an image used for selecting the skin brightness.

  The change result image used for the selection of brightness may be generated based on the captured image after the adjustment of the appearance of the eyes. In this case, the change processing unit 261 generates a plurality of change result images by adjusting the brightness of the skin of the photographed image after adjusting the reflection of eyes.

  In step S57, the display control unit 262 displays the reflection selection screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. The reflection selection screen displayed here is a screen used for selecting skin brightness.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of a reflection selection screen.

  A message prompting the user to select the skin brightness is displayed in the upper center of the image selection screen. Under the message, change result display areas 321-1 to 321-5 are formed side by side. In the change result display areas 321-1 to 321-5, change result images having different skin brightness are displayed.

  In this example, five types of brightness are used as parameters, and five change result images generated based on the first photographed image selected by the image of the eyes are displayed. The five change result images are images with different skin brightness. In the change result display areas 321-1 to 321-5, five change result images are displayed side by side in order from the darkest skin.

  As described above, the same image as the image used for the selection of the reflection of the eyes is displayed on the selection screen for the reflection of the brightness of the skin as the change result image for selecting the brightness. This eliminates the need for the user to select the captured image again in order to display the change result image used when selecting the brightness.

  The photographed image selected for displaying the change result image at the time of selecting the image of the eye is usually selected by the user considering that it is optimal for comparing the image with another image. In this way, by displaying the change result image based on the same shot image as the selected shot image when selecting the brightness, it is possible to display the optimal change result image that is easy for the user to compare. It becomes possible to make it.

  On the change result display areas 321-1, 321-3, and 321-5, characters “Bright Black”, “Recommended”, and “Whitening” indicating the name of brightness are displayed, respectively.

  In the example of FIG. 21, “Recommended” brightness is selected, and the cursor C is displayed so as to surround the change result display area 321-3. The user can select another brightness by selecting another change result image using the touch pens 132A and 132B.

  An OK button 305 operated when confirming the brightness is displayed on the lower right of the image selection screen. When the OK button 305 is operated, the brightness at which the cursor C is placed is selected.

  By displaying such a reflection selection screen, the user can see what results are obtained when each brightness is selected, and the change result image generated based on the captured image of himself / herself Can be relatively compared and evaluated.

  Similarly to the reflection selection screen of FIG. 19, it is also possible to display thumbnails of five photographed images side by side on the reflection selection screen for skin brightness. In this case, the user can switch the change result image to be displayed in the change result display areas 321-1 to 321-5 by selecting a thumbnail.

  In step S58, the change processing unit 261 determines whether or not the skin brightness has been selected, and waits until it is determined that the skin brightness has been selected.

  When it is determined in step S58 that the skin brightness has been selected, in step S59, the change processing unit 261 causes each of the five captured images to be an image of the eye selected by the user. Is subjected to image processing. In addition, the change processing unit 261 performs image processing on each of the five photographed images after adjustment of the appearance of the eyes so that the images have the skin brightness selected by the user.

  For example, when “recommended EYE” is selected as the image of the eye and “recommended” is selected as the skin brightness, the change processing unit 261 uses the same parameter as the parameter that defines the image of the “recommended EYE”. Use this to perform image processing, and adjust the appearance of the five captured images so that the appearance of the eye becomes “Recommended EYE”. In addition, the change processing unit 261 performs image processing using the same brightness as the “recommended” skin brightness, and adjusts the appearance of the eyes so that the brightness of the skin becomes the “recommended” brightness. Adjust the skin brightness of the five shot images.

  The adjustment of the reflection is performed by the above processing. The change processing unit 261 outputs the five captured images after adjusting the image to the edited image generation unit 263.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating another example of the reflection selection screen.

  In the thumbnail display areas 303-1 to 303-3 in FIG. 22, thumbnails of three up images showing the upper body of one user are displayed. In the thumbnail display area 303-4 and the thumbnail display area 303-5, thumbnails of two whole body images showing the whole body of one user are displayed. That is, the reflection selection screen in FIG. 22 is a screen when the edgy course is selected as the shooting course.

  In the example of FIG. 22, the thumbnail of the first photographed image displayed in the thumbnail display area 303-1 is selected and displayed with high contrast. The thumbnails of the second and third photographed images are displayed with low contrast.

  In the example of FIG. 22, two thumbnails, a thumbnail display area 303-4 and a thumbnail display area 303-5, are displayed in a grayed out form. The grayed out display indicates that the whole body image cannot be selected as the captured image that is the basis of the change result image.

  The face of the user shown in the whole body image is smaller than the face of the user shown in the up image. For example, even if you adjust the image of the user's eyes that appear in the whole-body image and display the change result images side by side, it is difficult to understand the difference in the image of the eyes, so select the whole-body image as the original image of the change result image Is prohibited.

  In this way, it is possible to change the display state of thumbnails depending on whether the image is selectable as a captured image from which the change result image is generated or not.

  It is also possible to display only selectable captured image thumbnails and not display unselectable captured image thumbnails. Also, a display for distinguishing between thumbnails of selectable captured images and thumbnails of selectable captured images, such as displaying thumbnails of selectable captured images and thumbnails of unselectable captured images in different colors, respectively. The state is arbitrary.

  Thereby, since only the change result image generated based on the up image is displayed, the user can easily confirm the difference in the image.

  In step S59 of FIG. 16, the display control unit 262 displays an editing screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. The user uses the touch pens 132A and 132B to edit the five captured images after adjusting the reflection.

  In step S60, the edited image generation unit 263 edits each captured image in response to an input by the user, and generates an edited image.

  In step S61, the edited image generation unit 263 determines whether or not the editing is finished. The processes in steps S59 to S61 are repeated until it is determined that the editing is finished.

  If it is determined in step S61 that the editing has been completed, in step S62, the display control unit 262 causes the tablet built-in monitor 131 to display a layout selection screen. The layout selection screen is a screen used for selecting a layout of an edited image to be printed on sticker paper.

  When a predetermined layout is selected from a plurality of layouts prepared in advance, the edited image generation unit 263 arranges the plurality of edited images in the layout selected by the user, and generates print data. The edited image generation unit 263 outputs the generated print data to the printer 241, and prints the edited image on a sticker sheet. Thereafter, the process returns to step S3 in FIG. 12, and the subsequent processing is performed.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of an editing screen displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131.

In the example of FIG. 23, by selecting the thumbnail P4 from the thumbnail display area 341R, the fourth captured image, which is a whole body image, is the editing target.

  The captured image after adjusting the reflection is edited using such an editing screen.

<Modification>
A modification of the reflection selection screen will be described. In the following, we will explain the reflection selection screen used to select the reflection of the eyes, but the same display format can also be applied to the display of the reflection selection screen used to select other reflections, such as brightness selection. It is.

First Modified Example FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating a first modified example of the reflection selection screen.

  24 is a screen that displays a plurality of change result images in a cover flow (registered trademark) style. The cover flow style means that the change result image is displayed in a movable state so as to flow from the right side to the left side of the screen. The cover flow-like display is a display in which the selected change result image is displayed in the center of the screen and larger, and the other change result images are displayed in a smaller position at a position away from the center of the screen. The position and size of each change result image are determined in accordance with the arrangement position based on the selected change result image in the arrangement order of the entire change result image.

  A change result display area 301-2 formed in the approximate center of the reflection selection screen is a display area for the currently selected change result image. In the example of FIG. 24, the change result image of “recommended EYE” is displayed in the change result display area 302-2.

  In the change result display areas 301-1 and 301-3 formed on the left and right of the change result display area 301-2, the change result image of “natural EYE” and the change result image of “light volume EYE” are displayed, respectively. The The “natural EYE” change result image and the “light volume EYE” change result image are smaller than the selected “recommended EYE” change result image.

  A change result image of “light volume EYE” is displayed in the change result display area 301-4 formed so that the change result display area 301-3 overlaps with the change result display area 301-3. The change result image of “light volume EYE” is smaller than the other change result images.

  The user can switch the display position of each change result image by sliding the touch pen 132A, 132B against the tablet built-in monitor 131 in the horizontal direction.

  For example, when the user performs a slide operation in the left direction, the change result image of “volume EYE” is the size at the position where the change result image of “light volume EYE” was displayed in FIG. Is displayed. Also, the change result image of “light volume EYE” is displayed in the size at the position where the change result image of “recommended EYE” was displayed in FIG. The change result image of “Light volume EYE” is selected.

  Further, the selected change result image of “recommended EYE” is displayed in the size at the position where the change result image of “natural EYE” is displayed in FIG. The change result image of “Natural EYE” is displayed with the change result image of “Recommended EYE” partially overlapping.

  By displaying a plurality of change result images in a cover flow style, the user can intuitively select a shot.

Second Modification Example FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating a second modification example of the reflection selection screen.

  The image selection screen in FIG. 25 is a screen that enlarges and displays the selected change result image in a pop-up manner. The pop-up type means that an enlarged version of a selected change result image is displayed so as to be superimposed on an unselected change result image.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 18, in the state where change result images of “natural EYE”, “recommended EYE”, “light volume EYE”, and “volume EYE” are displayed side by side, the third “light volume EYE” from the left is displayed. When “” is selected, as shown in FIG. 25, the change result image of “light volume EYE” is large at the approximate center of the screen and is displayed so as to be superimposed on the other change result images.

  The user can switch the change result image to be displayed largely at the approximate center of the screen by selecting another change result image. Thereby, the user can confirm in detail the image of the selected change result image.

Third Modification Example FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating a third modification example of the reflection selection screen.

Seventh Modification FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating a seventh modification of the reflection selection screen.

  The screen selection screen in FIG. 30 is a screen in which image processing is performed using different parameters for one captured image selected by the user, and thumbnails of the respective change result images are displayed side by side at the bottom of the screen. . An image displayed as a thumbnail is not a captured image but a change result image.

  When a predetermined thumbnail is selected, image processing using the same parameters as the parameters used for generating the change result image corresponding to the selected thumbnail is performed on all captured images. The captured image after adjusting the image is displayed side by side on the thumbnail of the change result image.

  In the image selection screen, a selection screen used for selecting one captured image, a thumbnail of a change result image generated based on the selected image, and a captured image after adjusting the image are displayed side by side. Screen.

  The selection screen illustrated in FIG. 30A is a captured image selection screen. A message prompting the user to select an image is displayed at the upper center of the screen. Display areas 421-1 to 421-5 are formed under a message for prompting selection of an image, and captured images are displayed respectively. The captured images displayed in the display areas 421-1 to 421-5 are images before adjustment of the image.

  When one photographed image is selected, the change processing unit 261 performs image processing using different parameters on the selected photographed image, and generates a plurality of change result images. Also, the change processing unit 261 performs image processing on the five captured images using the same parameters that define a predetermined image, and generates five change result images.

  The display control unit 262 generates a thumbnail of the change result image generated based on the single photographed image selected by the user and displays the thumbnail on the tablet built-in monitor 131. In addition, the display control unit 262 displays the five change result images generated by the image processing using the same parameters on the tablet built-in monitor 131. At this time, the screen in FIG. 30B is displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131 instead of the screen in FIG. 30A.

  In the screen of FIG. 30B, thumbnail display areas 422-1 to 422-4 are formed below the display areas 421-1 to 421-5. The thumbnails displayed in the thumbnail display areas 422-1 to 422-4 are thumbnails of change result images generated based on one photographed image selected by the user from the screen of FIG. 30A.

  In the example of FIG. 30B, thumbnails of change result images generated based on the first photographed image selected by the user are displayed in the thumbnail display areas 422-1 to 422-4. The user can select a predetermined image using the thumbnails displayed in the thumbnail display areas 422-1 to 422-4. On the thumbnail display areas 422-1 to 422-4, characters “natural”, “recommended”, “light volume”, and “volume” representing the image of the eyes are displayed.

  The images displayed in the display areas 421-1 to 421-5 in FIG. 30B are, for example, change results obtained by performing image processing using parameters that define the image of “natural EYE” on five captured images. It is an image.

  For example, when a thumbnail in the thumbnail display area 422-2 is selected, image processing using a parameter that defines the appearance of “recommended EYE” is performed on five captured images. The five change result images generated by performing the image processing are displayed in the display areas 421-1 to 421-5.

  For example, when the OK button 305 is operated in a state where a thumbnail in the thumbnail display area 422-2 is selected, a copy of “recommended EYE” is selected.

  From the display of thumbnails, the user can relatively compare the change results of the captured image selected by himself / herself as the best. The user can also reselect and reselect the best captured image. By selecting a predetermined change result, the user can also check the result when the same process as the change process is reflected in all the captured images.

Eighth Modification FIG. 31 is a diagram illustrating an eighth modification of the reflection selection screen.

  The reflection selection screen in FIG. 31 is a screen in which five photographed images are displayed side by side at the top of the screen and buttons that are operated when selecting the reflection of the eyes are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

<Second embodiment>
FIG. 36 is a diagram illustrating an example of a reflection selection screen.

  The reflection selection screen in FIG. 36 is a screen that is displayed when there are two users.

  36 includes a display area 501 formed at the center of the screen, a display area 502L formed on the left side of the display area 501, and a display area 502R formed on the right side of the display area 501.

  The display area 501 includes change result display areas 511-1 to 511-4 that are display areas of change result images. The name of the eyeshot is displayed above each area.

  The display areas 502L and 502R are configured from thumbnail areas 521-1 to 521-5, which are display areas for thumbnails of captured images, respectively. The display area 502L is used, for example, by a user standing on the left side of the tablet built-in monitor 131. The display area 502R is used, for example, by a user standing on the right side of the tablet built-in monitor 131. In this example, the thumbnail of the captured image is displayed in an area used by each user.

  For example, when a predetermined captured image is selected using a thumbnail displayed in the display area 502L by the user standing on the left side, the change processing unit 261 uses different parameters for the selected captured image. Apply image processing. The change processing unit 261 outputs the change result image generated by performing the image processing to the display control unit 262. The display control unit 262 displays a plurality of change result images generated by the change processing unit 261 in the display area 501.

  In the example of FIG. 36, the second photographed image whose thumbnail is displayed in the thumbnail area 521-2 of the display area 502L is selected and generated by adjusting the appearance of the second photographed image. The change result image is displayed in the display area 501.

  Similarly, the user standing on the right side can select a predetermined photographed image using the thumbnail displayed in the display area 502R and display the change result image in the display area 501. For example, the selection of a captured image is performed alternately by two users. The display of the display area 501 is switched every time two people select a captured image.

  The two users can relatively compare and evaluate the adjustment result of the captured image selected by one user while talking to each other.

  When the OK button 305 is operated in a state where a predetermined change result image is selected, the change processing unit 261 performs image processing on other captured images using the same parameters as the selected image parameters, and changes them. Generate a result image. The generated change result image is used as an editing target.

Modified Example FIG. 37 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the reflection selection screen.

  The screen selection screen of FIG. 37 is divided into left and right, except that areas similar to the display area 501 are provided on the left and right, and buttons similar to the OK button 305 are displayed on the left and right, respectively. This is the same as the screen in FIG. In this example, the thumbnail of the captured image and the change result image are displayed in the area used by each user.

  When a predetermined captured image is selected using a thumbnail displayed in the display area 502L, a change result image generated based on the selected captured image is displayed in the display area 501L.

  When the OK button 305L is selected in a state where a predetermined change result image displayed in the display area 501L is selected, the appearance of the eyes is selected.

  Similarly, when a predetermined captured image is selected using a thumbnail displayed in the display area 502R, a change result image generated based on the selected captured image is displayed in the display area 501R. .

  When the OK button 305R is selected in a state where a predetermined change result image displayed in the display area 501R is selected, the appearance of the eyes is selected.

  In this way, each user can select the captured image and compare the change result images.

<Other examples>
In the above description, the parameters for defining the appearance of the eyes and the case of changing the brightness of the skin have been described. However, it is also possible to adjust the reflection by changing other parameters. Such parameters include, for example, a parameter that defines the color of the hair, a parameter that defines the size of the user's face, a parameter that defines the shade of makeup, a parameter that defines the color of the user's skin, and a captured image There is a parameter that defines the overall brightness.

  The parameters that define the shade of makeup include parameters that define the shade and range of eyebrows, highlights, nose shadows, eye shadows, eyelines, eyelashes, cheeks, shades, lipsticks, and the like.

  The number of parameters to be changed in one image processing is not limited to one, and a combination of two or more of these parameters may be changed collectively. For example, the appearance of the eyes and the brightness of the skin can be adjusted simultaneously by a single operation by the user.

  It is also possible to display a guidance screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131 that guides the type of eye image that the user wants to actively select before displaying the image selection screen related to the eye image. On the guidance screen, for example, a sample image that has been subjected to image processing so as to show a recommended eye is displayed. As the sample image, an image showing a model person may be used, or an image selected from the photographed images may be used. Note that the sample image may be a whole-body image, an up-image, and an enlarged image of the eye, and the shooting range (view angle) and trimming range are not limited. Of these, it is possible to appeal to the user the type of eye reflection most strongly, so it is preferable to use an image with an enlarged eye part.

  Further, although the case where the sticker paper is used as the print medium on which the edited image generated as described above is printed has been described, it is also possible to print on another print medium. For example, it is possible to use print media of various materials such as paper, thin plastic, and vinyl. The shape of the print medium is also arbitrary.
