Patent ID: 8259190

Claim:
A system for setting a parameter for image processing in an imaging apparatus and an information processing apparatus different from said imaging apparatus comprising: a downloading unit configured to download a parameter file corresponding to the apparatus type of said imaging apparatus from an external apparatus that is different from said information processing apparatus and said imaging apparatus; a setting unit configured to set an image processing parameter for said imaging apparatus, which is included in said parameter file downloaded by said downloading unit; a first processing unit configured to process image data at said imaging apparatus using the image processing parameter set by said first setting unit; a second processing unit configured to process image data at said information processing apparatus using the image processing parameter downloaded by said downloading unit; an instructing unit configured to instruct said setting unit to set an image processing parameter, and a determining unit configured to determine whether the apparatus type of the image processing parameter instructed to be set by said instructing unit corresponds to the apparatus type of said imaging apparatus of the parameter file downloaded by said downloading unit, wherein when said determining unit determines that the apparatus type of the image processing parameter corresponds to the apparatus type of said imaging apparatus of the parameter file downloaded by said downloading unit, said setting unit operates, and wherein said first and said second processing units perform equivalent processing to an image using the image processing parameter obtained from one parameter file downloaded by said downloading unit.
