A method and apparatus for redacting a document via a graphical user interface (GUI) on a multi-function device (MFD) are disclosed. For example, the method includes scanning a document, displaying the document on the GUI, receiving a selection of at least one portion of the document to redact via the GUI and creating a new document that redacts the at least one portion of the document that is selected.

An information processing apparatus includes a file name reading unit that reads a file name including form information indicating a printing form of an image to be printed, a preview image generating unit that specifies the printing form from the read file name, and generates a simple preview image of the image based on the printing form, and a selection display unit that displays the simple preview image as a selection for selecting the image which is desired.

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.

An image measurement sheet for measuring an image formed on a recording medium includes a sheet having a plurality of medium scan windows used for detecting the recording medium, a plurality of image scan windows used for detecting the image formed on the recording medium, and an information scan window used for detecting imaging condition information recorded on the recording medium with the image, the plurality of medium scan windows to be corresponded to a portion of sides and a corner of the recording medium, the plurality of image scan windows to be corresponded to a portion of the image formed on the recording medium, and the information scan window to be corresponded to the imaging condition information recorded on the recording medium.

A method, which is performed by an electronic device, for resizing an image having text is disclosed. The method may include determining layout information of at least one text region in the image. The layout information may include at least one of a number, a size, a location, a shape, or a text density of the at least one text region in the image. The method may also select a seam carving operation, a cropping operation, or a scaling operation for the image based on the layout information, a size of the image, and a target image size. The selected operation may be performed to resize the image to the target image size based at least on one of the layout information, the size of the image, or the target image size. The resized image may include the at least one text region.

A decoration made from a plurality of colored objects arranged in a regular pattern on a colored substrate, individual colored objects discernable at arm's length, with the decoration recognizable at greater distance as corresponding to a digital image. The colored objects may be pushpins, and no colored objects are placed at positions where the substrate color is the desired color. Embodiments also include an apparatus to select a single pushpin from a container of pushpins, and an apparatus to orient a pushpin in preparation for insertion into the substrate.

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 image reading apparatus includes an image reading unit and an image analysis unit. The image reading unit reads images of a plurality of original documents in sequence so as to generate an image data group including a plurality of pieces of image data. The image analysis unit analyzes the image data group to identify a body text region representing a body text of the original document. The image analysis unit identifies a page number region based on a position of the identified body text region. The page number region represents a page number. The image analysis unit determines a first position relationship as a positional relationship between the body text region and the page number region. The image analysis unit detects a disarranged image. The disarranged image is an image of an original document having a second position relationship different from the determined first position relationship.

A cropping electronic display image is provided in response to selection of an image crop menu option. The cropping electronic display image includes a geometric shape superimposed on the input image. Operation of the user input component changing position of at least one side of the geometric shape within the cropping electronic display image is detected to identify a selected cropped image area. Portions of the input image outside the selected cropped image area are removed to produce a cropped image, in response to completing the process of changing position of at least one side of the geometric shape. The cropped image and the cropped image area are enlarged to fit within the cropping electronic display image.

An example system includes a controller. The controller is to determine a first end point of a previous frame in a first image. The first image is to be printed on a first ribbon. The controller is to determine a second end point of the previous frame in a second image to be printed on a second ribbon. The controller is to create a current frame containing first image data from the first image starting after the first end point, second image data from the second image starting after the second end point, and third image data from a beginning of the first image. The system includes an image engine to form an image corresponding to the current frame on a medium.
