Abstract:
1. An image processing device executing image processing that includes a rotation process on a digital image, said image processing device comprising: a first processing part forming first image data in a first format; a second processing part forming second image data conforming to a second format based on said first image data; and a third processing part rotating said second image data to form third image data conforming to said second format based on said second image data, wherein said first image data includes a first pixel having a first color-difference signal, and a second pixel having a second color-difference signal, said first color-difference signal is a color-difference signal that is necessary for said third image data, but needs to be deleted from said second pixel for said third image data to conform to said second format, said second color-difference signal is a color-difference signal that is unnecessary for said third image data, said second processing part forms said second image data, said second image data being such that said second color-difference signal is deleted from said second pixel, and said first color-difference signal of said first pixel is moved to said second pixel in said first image data, and said third processing part forms said third image data, said third image data being such that said second image data is rotated, and said first color-difference signal of said second pixel is moved to said first pixel in said second image data.
