DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus which edits image data, composition information, and mask information to create an image, and in particular, stores work instructions in advance and edits necessary image information. The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus that can reduce an operator's standby time by executing image processing for each page to save labor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, image data (pictures) and composition information (which may include characters) as stored image information are stored, and the image data is edited for each edited page by image processing on a computer. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known an image processing apparatus (layout scanner) that creates a print document in page units by pasting it at a predetermined position of composition information.

[0003] This type of image processing apparatus is provided in a factory and has a storage unit for storing a plurality of image data, mask information, and composition information. Here, as each image data, for example, a photograph can be used, and the image data is individually sent to the image processing apparatus in the factory in the order of completion of the development. Similarly, the composition information is individually sent to the image processing apparatus in the factory in the order of completion of the creation.

[0004] When the image data, the mask information and the composition information are prepared, the image processing apparatus starts preparing a print original. For example, in the image processing apparatus, when a print original is created, as shown in FIG. 8, when an instruction to read out composition information is input by an input operation of a work instruction by an operator, the composition information is stored in the storage unit. When reading (ST1) and subsequently an instruction to read one point of image data to be pasted on the composition information are input (ST2), one point of image data corresponding to the reading instruction is read (ST3).

[0005] Further, the image processing apparatus, after the elapse of a certain time,
Align the read image data with the composition information (ST
4) After the positioning is completed, it is determined whether or not other image data is to be pasted on the composition information (ST5). Also, as a result of the determination in step ST5, when other image data is to be pasted, the processing of steps ST2 to ST4 is repeated, and when other image data is not to be pasted,
The presence / absence of the next composition information is determined (ST6). If there is no next composition information, the image processing is terminated. If there is the next composition information, the processing of steps ST1 to ST5 is repeated.

[0006] As described above, this type of image processing apparatus creates a print manuscript by repeatedly reading the composition information, reading the image data point by point, and aligning the image data with the composition information. ing.

Similarly, since a certain time is required to read image data for each point, there is a problem that the equipment efficiency of an expensive image processing apparatus is reduced. In addition, the time required to complete the photo as the original of the image data does not match the time required for the composition, and the manuscript is individually entered into the factory. This is because it takes a lot of time to create the composition. Furthermore, photographs are not entered into the factory page by page, but are entered individually in the factory. This is because photographs over a plurality of pages are photographed at a time, and the photographs having been developed are put into a factory so that photographing can proceed rationally.

[0009] Here, if at least one page of the photograph and the composition are not aligned, the work instruction cannot be input. Therefore, when the photograph is made at once, the input operation of the work instruction and the positioning operation are concentrated at one time. Resulting in. However, even if the operation is concentrated at one time, the printing delivery date cannot be shifted, so it is necessary to prepare extra personnel and an image processing device to meet the delivery date, thereby further reducing human efficiency and equipment efficiency. There is a problem.
