Abstract:
A method of processing an image to be processed by an image processing device having a first image-outputting device that is capable of outputting synthesized images such that said synthesized images are recognizable, each of said synthesized images being synthesized from image elements, and a second image-outputting device that is capable of outputting any of said image elements such that said any of said image elements is recognizable only when said second image-outputting device outputs said any of said image elements separately,the method comprising the steps of: storing said image elements of said each of said synthesized images, in a non-synthesized state, with a predetermined one of said image elements being set to a representative image element that symbolizes a corresponding one of said synthesized images; and causing said second image-outputting device to output, in place of any one of said synthesized images, said representative image corresponding to said any one of said synthesized images.
