APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING OUTPUT IMAGE FROM IMAGE DATA

摘要

When a memory card (MC) is inserted into a slot (34), a control circuit (30) of a color printer (20) acquires image output control information (G1) from a memory card (MC) and analyzes it. A CPU (31) corrects the lightness reference value Bstd for a lightness parameter by reflecting a set exposure correction if an exposure correction other than zero is set. The CPU (31) determines a lightness correction level Brev by correcting the lightness representative value Brep so as to approximate to the corrected lightness reference value Bstd, and adjusts the image quality of image data by reflecting the lightness correction level Brev. As a result, the image quality of the image data is automatically adjusted without damaging an output condition set arbitrarily.
