An image processing apparatus includes a unit that acquires image data of a target image which is a target of image processing, a unit that acquires a display image showing a target image state, and a unit that performs image processing corresponding to the target image state with respect to the image data of the target image, based on the acquired display image.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods and systems for altering an orientation of a logical cell at a multi-function device. In one embodiment, before rasterization, a user submits a job having multiple pages and an initial instruction to arrange n number of pages on a single medium. Each page has a pre-defined orientation. Another instruction is received to alter a pre-defined orientation of a selected page in the corresponding logical cell. An N-up operation is performed to arrange the n number of pages on the single medium. Each page arranged on the single medium represents a logical cell. While performing the N-up operation, the pre-defined orientation of a logical cell corresponding to the selected page is altered. The logical cell with the altered orientation is printed and the remaining logical cells with respective pre-defined orientation are printed on the single medium.

An imaging device and a method of processing a document at the imaging device which includes receiving a message associated with the document, transmitting the message to a server communicatively connected to the imaging device, receiving an identifier of the message as stored in the server, converting the identifier to an image scannable by a mobile device, and adding the image to an output page of the document. An input language and an output language of the message associated with the document may be predetermined or may be received from a user of the imaging device.

An image processing apparatus includes a generation unit that generates, in a case where a small-sheet image in a first image is unsuccessfully extracted and results in multiple small-sheet images, a second image including the small-sheet images that are combined.

A portable terminal as an example of an imaging apparatus has an imaging unit that images a subject, a display unit that displays an image captured by the imaging unit in a live view mode, an extraction unit, a composition unit, and a display control unit. The imaging unit acquires a first image. The extraction unit extracts a part of the first image as a composition target for image composition. The composition unit composes the composition target to a second image captured by the imaging unit and different from the first image. The display control unit displays the second image, to which the composition target is composed, on the display unit in a live view mode.

In a method for always displaying a borderless protrusion area, which is an area for achieving borderless printing, when a borderless printing function is used, the display is not necessarily appropriate display depending on the application of the user. Setting for receiving a setting for enabling borderless printing, displaying control for displaying an editing screen including an image as an editing target and a recording medium area, and controlling for, in a case where the borderless printing is set and an operation on the editing screen is received, displaying an object indicating an area for the borderless printing outside the recording medium area on the editing screen, and in a case where the operation on the editing screen is not received, not displaying the object indicating the area for the borderless printing outside the recording medium area on the editing screen are executed.

An apparatus including a first memory area and a second memory area is provided with a control method including specifying one or a plurality of types of image processing to be applied in the first memory area, specifying a size of obtainment target image data as a predetermined size based on a memory capacity of the second memory area and a content of the specified one or plurality of types of image processing; and obtaining first divided image data having the specified predetermined size in predetermined image data.

An electronic apparatus includes a reading unit, a processing unit, and a printing unit. The reading unit scans a reading target and acquires a plurality of scanned images. The processing unit performs processing to specify an aggregation target range which is a target of aggregate printing, of the plurality of scanned images, based on the plurality of scanned images. The printing unit aggregate-prints the scanned images specified as the aggregation target range, of the plurality of scanned images.

An apparatus and method to pick a magnetizable object from a group of magnetizable objects having substantially uniform and predetermined respective sizes, the apparatus including an elongated magnet having a major axis, and a rigid dielectric material having an aperture, the rigid dielectric material positioned relative to the elongated magnet in order to present an opening through the rigid dielectric material along a line collinear with the major axis. The rigid dielectric material is movable, relative to the elongated magnet, in a direction parallel to the major axis between a first position at which at least a portion of the elongated magnet is within the aperture, and a second position at which no part of the elongated magnet is within the aperture.

Provided are an image processing method and an image processing device which can generate second print image data for recording an optimum image based on information from an image of a first print, and a printing method and a print output system which output a second print in which the optimum image is recorded.

An image processing method includes an acquisition step of acquiring first print image data from a first print having first and second regions, a determination step of determining image processing to be applied, based on information acquired from at least one region, and a generation step of generating second print image data for outputting a second print having a third region corresponding to the first region by performing the image processing on the first print image data.
