According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an input unit and a control unit. The input unit accepts a reference point of scaling for enlarging or reducing image data. The control unit performs inversion for inverting the image data according to the reference point in either or both of a main scanning direction and a sub scanning direction. The control unit performs scaling on the inverted image data generated by performing the inversion to generate scaled image data. The control unit performs inversion on the scaled image data again to generate non-inverted scaled image data.

A processor of this information processing device superimposes, on at least part of a first screen displayed on an operation screen, and displays a second screen different from a first screen by accepting user operation, and when such an event that changes the display content of the first screen has occurred, changes the display mode of the second screen so that the change of the display content which has occurred on the first screen can be visually recognized.

An image display apparatus includes an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an input image to be displayed on a display unit and a display control unit configured to reduce display luminance of the display unit in a case where a display image obtained by enlarging the input image is displayed on the display unit or in a case where a display image obtained by enhancing a contour of an object in the input image is displayed on the display unit.

In response to a start of a pinch-out operation in a first display area displaying a preview image, display is switched from a first display mode to a second display mode, and in a case where a pinch-in operation in the first display area ends and a display size of the preview image reaches a predetermined threshold, the display is switched from the second display mode to the first display mode.

A display control device includes: a display signal output unit configured so as to output a display image signal on a display unit so as to execute normal display, zoom-in display, scroll display, and zoom-out display regarding data to be displayed as display operation for data to be displayed; and a control unit configured to instruct the display signal output unit to perform, regarding data to be displayed, output of a display image signal for sequentially executing zoom-in display in a scroll start position from the normal display, scroll display from the scroll start position, and zoom-out display from a scroll end position to the normal display at a display unit.

Disclosed is a mobile terminal, by which an image can be easily attached. In particular, the present invention includes a 1.sup.st camera, a touchscreen, and a controller controlling the touchscreen to output a running screen of a prescribed application and a preview screen of the 1.sup.st camera to a 1.sup.st region and a 2.sup.nd region on the touchscreen, respectively, the controller, if a photograph command is received, attaching an image data photographed through the 1.sup.st camera to the prescribed application, wherein a data size of the attached image data is based on a size of the 2.sup.nd region.

An image forming apparatus includes an image display that displays an image. In response to determining both that the image display is present in a detected user's gaze direction and that a distance between the user and the image display is shorter than a predetermined distance, the apparatus performs a change process on the image. After performing the change process, the apparatus determines whether or not the distance between the user and the image display is equal to or greater than the predetermined distance, and if so, returns the image back to a state prior to the change process.

An image processing method for processing a display image includes using an image forming apparatus which includes a position detector detecting a position of contact with a display screen and forms an image on a recording medium based on a display image displayed on the display screen. The display image includes an object image indicative of an object for an image formation and a medium image indicative of the recording medium, and the image processing method includes modifying magnification of the object image with respect to the medium image, without modifying the medium image, based on contact positions of two points detected by the position detector.

In response to a start of a pinch-out operation in a first display area displaying a preview image, display is switched from a first display mode to a second display mode, and in a case where a pinch-in operation in the first display area ends and a display size of the preview image reaches a predetermined threshold, the display is switched from the second display mode to the first display mode.
