Output image adjustment for image data

Abstract

A CPU 200 reads out an image file GF from a memory card MC and stores the read out image file GF temporarily in an RAM 210 . The CPU 200 acquires shooting information EI from the read out image file GF and determines the noise reduction level according to the ISO speed. When the ISO speed or the shutter speed exceeds a predetermined value, the CPU 200 increases the noise reduction level and executes noise reduction process.

 an image data acquisition module that acquires image data; and   an image processing module that changes a noise reduction level, which represents a degree of noise reduction, according to a shooting condition that relates to lightness of a subject of shooting and is mapped to the acquired image data, and carries out image processing of the acquired image data.   
     
     
         2 . An image processing device in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said image processing module comprises a shooting condition is retrieval sub-module that retrieves the shooting condition that relates to the lightness of the subject of shooting and is mapped to the acquired image data, and
 in the case of successful retrieval of the shooting condition, said image processing module changes the noise reduction level, which represents the degree of noise reduction, according to the retrieved shooting condition and carries out the image processing of the image data.   
     
     
         3 . An image processing device in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the shooting condition relating to the lightness of the subject of shooting is at least one of an ISO speed, a shutter speed, a gain control level, and a CCD pixel size. 
     
     
         4 . An image processing device in accordance with  claim 3 , wherein said image processing module heightens the noise reduction level with any of an increase in ISO speed, a decrease in shutter speed, an increase in gain control level, and a decrease in CCD pixel size. 
     
     
         5 . An image processing device in accordance with  claim 4 , wherein said image processing module analyzes lightness of the image data and sets an initial value of the noise reduction level. 
     
     
         6 . An image processing device that utilizes a shooting condition to execute image processing of image data, said image processing device comprising:
 an image data acquisition module that acquires image data;   a shooting condition retrieval module that retrieves shooting conditions that relate to use or non-use of strobe light and a focal length and are mapped to the acquired image data; and   an image processing module that, in the case of successful retrieval of the shooting conditions, carries out image processing of the acquired image data by utilizing the retrieved shooting conditions for background processing of a target of shooting.   
     
     
         7 . An image processing device that utilizes a shooting condition to execute image processing of image data, said image processing device comprising:
 an image data acquisition module that acquires image data;   a shooting condition retrieval module that retrieves a shooting condition that relates to an image compression ratio and is mapped to the acquired image data; and   an image processing module that, in the case of successful retrieval of the shooting condition, changes a noise reduction level, which represents a degree of noise reduction, with the retrieved shooting condition and carries out image processing of the image data.   
     
     
         8 . A computer readable medium that stores an image processing program, said image processing program utilizing at least one of an ISO speed, a shutter speed, a gain control level, and a CCD pixel size to execute image processing of image data, said image processing program comprising:
 a program command that acquires image data;   a program command that retrieves at least one of the ISO speed, the shutter speed, the gain control level, and the CCD pixel size mapped to the acquired image data; and   a program command that, in the case of successful retrieval of at least one of the ISO speed, the shutter speed, the gain control level, and the CCD pixel size, carries out image processing of the image data to heighten a noise reduction level, which represents a degree of noise reduction, with any of an increase in ISO speed, a decrease in shutter speed, an increase in gain control level, and a decrease in CCD pixel size.   
     
     
         9 . A computer readable medium in accordance with  claim 8 , wherein the image processing analyzes lightness of the image data, sets an initial value of the noise reduction level, and changes the noise reduction level according to the retrieved shooting condition. 
     
     
         10 . A computer readable medium that stores a printer control program, said printer control program utilizing a shooting condition to generate image data, which are to be output by a printer, said printer control program comprising:
 a program command that obtains an image file, which includes both image data and a shooting condition;   a program command that retrieves the shooting condition from the obtained image file; and   a program command that, in the case of successful retrieval of the shooting condition, carries out image processing of the image data with the retrieved shooting condition.
