In the print creating apparatus 20, a normal print P1, an additional information print P2, and an index print P3 are created based on the image data stored in the removable medium M and the print order information stored in association therewith. It can be performed.

Next, the printing operation of the print creating apparatus 20 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining printing by the print creation device 20. The print creation device 20 can execute the following print method based on a program stored in an internal hard disk as a recording medium.

First, the L size of the print will be described as an example. Generally, the L size of a print is, as shown in FIG. 3A, a vertical dimension of 89 mm and a horizontal dimension of 127 mm. In the case of a print with a border, such a size is a dimension including the border. Here, it is assumed that a print on which an image based on additional information such as an advertisement is placed on a normal photographed image.

In such a case, if the size of the image based on the additional information is arbitrary, the photographic paper must be changed accordingly. However, the photosensitive material that can be loaded into the print making apparatus 20 is stored in a roll shape because it is long in the length direction with respect to the width. The width of the photosensitive material is 89
mm or 127 mm is most often used, and the use of photographic paper of any other size greatly increases the cost.

Therefore, in the print creating apparatus 20, the control unit 2 also serves as a detecting unit, an acquiring unit, and a determining unit.
07 detects the width of the loaded photosensitive material and detects the print size (here, L size) from the input print order information, and when, for example, the photosensitive material A having a width of 89 mm is loaded, 3B, the image G1 is formed such that the vertical dimension of the image G1 based on the captured image information becomes the full width of the photosensitive material A, and then the image G2 based on the additional information is An image G1 is formed continuously in the length direction of the material A. Therefore, in the roll-shaped photosensitive material A, there is no portion that is cut off and discarded because the image G2 is formed, and the photosensitive material A can be almost completely used up. The image G based on the additional information
It is preferable that the length in the vertical direction of the image 2 coincides with the vertical size of the image G1 to ensure consistency between the two, but the length in the horizontal direction can be arbitrarily determined regardless of the size of the image G1.

On the other hand, when the photosensitive material B having a width of 127 mm has been loaded, the control unit 207 returns to FIG.
As shown in the figure, the image G1 is formed such that the lateral dimension of the image G1 based on the photographed image information becomes the full width of the photosensitive material B, and the image G2 ′ based on the additional information is converted to the length of the photosensitive material A. The image is formed in the direction following the image G1. Therefore, in the roll-shaped photosensitive material B, there is no portion that is cut off and discarded due to the formation of the image G2 ′, and the photosensitive material B can be almost completely used up. Note that the horizontal length of the image G2 ′ based on the additional information is the image G1 ′.
It is preferable to make them consistent with each other, but the length in the vertical direction can be arbitrarily determined regardless of the size of the image G1.

In the example described above, the rolled photosensitive material A,
Regarding the unwinding direction of B, after the image G1, the image G2
Although G2 'is formed, it is also possible to reverse their arrangement.

By the way, an image based on additional information about an advertisement or the like may include an image having a vertical direction such as a human face or a character. If this is formed at random, there is a possibility that the image G1 based on the shooting information will not be consistent with respect to the top and bottom, and an unnatural image will be formed.

On the other hand, it is possible for the camera to read and input the top and bottom information of each image at the time of shooting, and it is also possible for the operator to view the image and input the top and bottom direction.
When such top and bottom information is input, the control unit 207 also serving as a detection unit and a decision unit determines images G2 and G2 to be formed based on the additional information so as to correspond to the top and bottom directions of the image G1 based on the shooting information. '
When the customer who is provided with the print tries to view the image G1, the images G2 and G2 ′ based on the additional information can also be viewed naturally because the top and bottom directions match, and the appeal of advertisements and the like is further increased. is there.

More specifically, when the image based on the additional information includes the character string “Patent Shoji”, it is necessary to match the orientation and arrangement of the individual characters with the image G1. Accordingly, in the state shown in FIG. 3B, “Patent Shoji” must be written vertically, whereas FIG.
In the state shown in (c), “Patent Shoji” must be written horizontally, so the control unit 207 rotates each character clockwise 9
Image processing is performed so that the image is rotated by 0 degrees and the character spacing is appropriately widened.

If the control unit 207 has a function of recognizing the beginning of a character string, when writing such a character string horizontally, the beginning of the character string is arranged at the left end, and the character string is written vertically. In such a case, the head of the character string can be arranged on the upper side, so that the person who views the print can easily read the character string, which is preferable.

Further, if the control unit 207 as the detecting means and the determining means can detect the background color of the image based on the photographed image information, it should be formed based on the additional information according to the background color of the detected image. By appropriately determining the background color of the image, it is possible to make the image based on the additional information more appealing. That is, if the background color of the image based on the additional information is determined to be a complementary color (eg, orange) of the background color (eg, green) of the image based on the captured image information, the image based on the additional information can be strongly appealed. On the other hand, if the background color of the image based on the additional information is determined to be similar to the background color of the image based on the captured image information, the image based on the additional information can be appealed with a natural feeling.

Similarly, the control unit 207 as the detection means and the determination means can detect the color of the image based on the captured image information adjacent to the image based on the additional information, and according to the color of the detected image, By appropriately determining the background color of the image to be formed based on the additional information, it is possible to make the image based on the additional information more appealing.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing photographic paper as an example of an image formed body printed by the print creating apparatus 20. In FIG. 4, an image G1 based on photographed image information and an image G3 based on additional information are formed on photographic paper P. Such an image G3 can be used as a discount ticket. However, since the printing paper P is formed of relatively thick paper, it is difficult to cut out only the portion of the image G3 without using a cutting machine such as a pinch.

Therefore, in this embodiment, by providing a perforation TL between the image G1 and the image G3 on the photographic paper P, the portion where the image G1 based on the photographed image information is formed and the additional information Since at least a part of the portion where the base image G3 is formed is separable without using a cutter, only the discount ticket (or coupon) can be easily separated and used by hand, which is convenient. is there. The separation of the portion where the image G3 is formed is not limited to the perforation, and the image G3 may be formed on an easily peelable seal so that the seal is not peeled off.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments. However, the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the above embodiments, and it is needless to say that modifications and improvements can be made as appropriate. is there.
