STILL PICTURE SYSTEM

摘要

A scanner section (1) reads a picture from, for example, a photograph, and a thinning and compression/expansion processing block (4) generates high-resolution picture data for printing, intermediate-resolution picture data for monitor display, and low-resolution picture data for index display based on the picture data from the scanner section (1). Then a storage section (5) records the picture data of the resolution on an optical disk and performs management in a hierarchical directory structure. Therefore, the pigeonholing, etc., of a plurality of photographs can be achieved, because the photographs are managed by recording the photographs on one optical disk.
