Patent ID: 7899269

Claim:
An image processing device that executes image processing of subject image data, which is to be laid out on a piece of ornamental image data, said image processing device comprising: a subject image data acquisition module that obtains the subject image data; an ornamental image data acquisition module that obtains the piece of ornamental image data, the piece of ornamental image data being image data having a preset subject; a layout control information acquisition module that obtains layout control information, which is related to the obtained ornamental image data and specifies a layout location and layout dimensions of the subject image data to be laid out on the piece of ornamental image data and image quality adjustment information regarding the subject image data, the image quality adjustment information being related to the layout control information and specifying a correction level of the subject image data; a characteristic value determination module that analyzes the subject image data to specify a characteristic value of an image quality adjustment parameter affecting image quality of the subject image data; a correction rate setting module that sets a correction rate of the subject image data, in order to cancel out or reduce a difference between the specified characteristic value and a preset reference value, the correction rate setting module setting correction rates with regard to multiple image quality adjustment parameters affecting the image quality of the subject image data; an image quality adjustment module that executes image quality adjustment of the obtained subject image data according to the image quality adjustment information specified in the obtained layout control information; and an output image data generation module that generates and outputs output image data from the subject image data that has been processed through the image quality adjustment, and the piece of ornamental image data according to the layout control information, the output image data being output to a printing device or a display device, wherein the correction level is used to vary the correction rate, wherein the correction level is set with regard to each of the multiple image quality adjustment parameters and is suited to the preset subject of the piece of ornamental image data, and wherein each module in the image processing device is executed by an integrated circuit.
