An image reproducing method having a retouching function and an apparatus embodying the method

摘要

In a reproducing system, colour separation signals have added thereto 4, correcting signals from a retouch memory 2 to produce a desired result in the reproduction a. The correcting signals are derived from a pre-retouching arrangement 3 which involves a colour camera viewing the original to produce an image on a monitor, on which areas can be selected for retouch and the amount of retouch entered via a keyboard. The correction signals are stored in memory 2 and readout synchronously with the colour scanner signals.
