Abstract:
A method of reproducing a composite image, comprising the steps of:photoelectrically reading out an image recorded on an original medium at a rough picture element interval to obtain a rough image signal representing the image; processing the rough image signal using initial signal composing conditions to produce a rough composite image signal; displaying the rough composite image signal as a visible image; correcting the initial signal composing conditions and the visible image so that the visible image satisfies a desired image composition, wherein the desired image composition includes type of text, position of text, margin information, composite image size information, composite image orientation information; photoelectrically reading out the image recorded on the original medium at a fine picture element interval to obtain a fine image signal representing the image; processing the fine image signal using the corrected signal composing conditions to produce a fine composite image signal; reproducing the fine composite image signal as the composite image on a photosensitive material.
