Constituting of present embodiment: by carries out image processing program on personal computer (PC) 2, make this PC2, and from a plurality of images, select desired image as image processing apparatus.
Digital camera 1 is filled with the dielectric card 3 that constitutes the recording medium that for example blocks shape, and the image recording of being photographed in this dielectric card 3.The photographs that is recorded in this dielectric card 3 passes through dielectric card reader 4, perhaps is transmitted and is taken into PC2 (S1) by digital camera 1 and PC2 directly are connected.
And, as the method that is used for photographs is sent to from digital camera 1 PC2, PC2 and digital camera 1 by for example two-way connection of communication line of IEEE 1394 or USB 2.0 etc., dependence is from the control of PC 2, also can and be taken in the PC 2 the image capturing that uses digital camera 1 photography (S2, S3).
Like this, the image that is taken into PC 2 along with effluxion, is in the state that record great amount of images in this PC 2 whenever all being stored in turn when photographing.
As mentioned above, when when using image for the various purposes of magazine or the Internet home page, New Year card use etc., the selected suitable images corresponding with purpose carried out Flame Image Process etc. according to necessity afterwards from these a plurality of images.
This when selected when carrying out, in the operating system that is used for the elemental motion of PC 2 is controlled, make image processing programs action that is stored in this PC 2.
Like this, after having carried out various initialization process, the picture (with reference to Fig. 8, Fig. 9) that shows following browsing mode (S4).
In this browsing mode, a plurality of images (thumbnail image) that dwindle are arranged demonstration, be dragged and dropped into correcting area etc. by the image from these images, selecting to select and it, can select correction (S5).
Yet, as mentioned above,, can from the image of being classified, select work because selected purpose image is the thorny work that needs memory or notice from great amount of images, thereby classifies image (S6) by some classifications.
As classification one example, set 3 kinds of the lower image of importance degree high image, importance degree medium image, importance degree etc., the image that does not belong to any classification in these classifications as the minimum image of importance degree, by classifying by amounting to 4 kinds, specify classification then, can carry out browse displays to the image that only belongs to specified classification.
In the present embodiment, set the check box that carries out color differentiating by red (R), yellow (Y), blue (B) etc., and choose for this check box and used, classification not only can be used for the classification of importance degree, and can be that in photographic studio, indoor shot field, the outdoor location etc. either party classifies according to the photography place, and also can photograph according to daytime, the time band of photography in morning and evening, night photography etc. classifies, and be not limited thereto, the user can freely use according to self purpose.
