Patent ID: 8412001

Claim:
An image processing device comprising: a storage means for storing image data; and a transfer means for enlarging or reducing the image data stored in a first region of the storage means at a predetermined transfer magnification and transferring the image data to a second region other than the first region of the storage means, wherein the transfer means enlarges or reduces the image data at the predetermined transfer magnification by performing an enlarging or reducing process on the image data once when the predetermined transfer magnification is within an inclusive range of values between a predetermined upper-limit threshold and a predetermined lower-limit threshold, and the transfer means enlarges or reduces the image data at the predetermined transfer magnification by repeating, by a plurality of times, a divided-transfer process of performing an enlarging or reducing process on the image data at a divided-transfer magnification that is within the inclusive range of values between the upper-limit threshold and the lower-limit threshold when the predetermined transfer magnification is not within the inclusive range of values between the upper limit threshold and the lower-limit threshold.
