In FIG. 11, brightness parameters are set on the horizontal axis and contrast parameters are set on the vertical axis. In accordance with the setting of those parameters, a scale (horizontal scroll bar) 1112 related to the parameter value of brightness is set on the side (upper side) of the nine images, and a contrast (horizontal scroll bar) 1112 is set on the vertical side (left side) of the nine images. A scale (vertical scroll bar) 1113 related to the parameter value is set.

The horizontal scroll bar 1112 means that the brightness parameter value increases toward the right, and the brightness parameter value decreases toward the left. Similarly, the vertical scroll bar 1113 also means that the parameter value of contrast becomes higher as it goes upward and the parameter value of contrast becomes lower as it goes downward.

Further, the catalog viewer 1100 is provided with a “close” button 1114 for closing the window of the catalog viewer 1100.

The reference image 1101 is the selected image display area 5
The same image as the image displayed in 03 is reduced and displayed. Therefore, the parameter values regarding the saturation and the hue regarding the image are the same as the parameter values regarding the image displayed in the selected image display area 503.

Next, the peripheral images 1102-1109 will be described. The peripheral images 1102 to 1109 are the same images as the reference image 1101, and are images created by changing the parameter values of the saturation and / or hue of the reference image 1101 by a predetermined change amount.

The parameter value of the reference image 1101 is (0,
If the predetermined change amount of the parameter value is plus or minus 10 as 0), the parameter value of the peripheral image 1102 becomes (-10, 10), and the parameter value of the peripheral image 1103 becomes (0, 10). The parameter value of the image 1104 becomes (10, 10), and the peripheral image 1105
Parameter value is (-10, 0), and the peripheral image 11
The parameter value of 06 is (10, 0), and the peripheral image 1
The parameter value of 107 is (-10, -10), the parameter value of the peripheral image 1108 is (0, -10), and the parameter value of the peripheral image 1109 is (10, -1).
0).

Taking the parameter value of the peripheral image 1102 as an example, regarding the parameter value of the saturation on the horizontal axis, the reference image 1
It is -10 compared with 101, and the hue parameter value on the vertical axis is +1 compared with the reference image 1101.
It is 0. Therefore, the peripheral image 1102 is arranged on the left side of the reference image 1101 in terms of saturation,
In addition, the hue is arranged above the reference image 1101. As a result, the peripheral image 1102 is the reference image 1
It will be arranged at a position on the upper left side of 101.

Similarly, for the other peripheral images 1103 to 1109, the peripheral image 1103 is on the upper side of the reference image 1101, the peripheral image 1104 is on the upper right side of the reference image 1101, and the peripheral image 1105 is on the left side of the reference image 1101. 11
06 is on the right side of the reference image 1101, the peripheral image 1107 is on the lower left side of the reference image 1101, the peripheral image 1108 is on the lower side of the reference image 1101, and the peripheral image 1109 is on the reference image 1
They are arranged on the lower right side of 101.

As a result, the peripheral images 1102 to 110
Reference numeral 9 is a parameter value corresponding to a horizontal scroll bar 1112 which is a horizontal axis scale and a vertical scroll bar 1113 which is a vertical axis scale, and is arranged in a state of surrounding the reference image 1101 around the reference image 1101 around the reference image 1101. Will be done.

To change the image, use horizontal scroll bar 1
112 or the vertical scroll bar 1113 with the mouse 212
Drag operation etc. As a result, the image in which the parameter value is changed according to the parameter value corresponding to the scroll bar is displayed.

FIG. 12 shows an example of a catalog viewer for sharpness. In FIG. 12, since the catalog viewer 1200 has only one parameter, it is composed of three images in the lateral direction, the center of which is the reference image, and both sides of which are peripheral images. Others are the same as the catalog viewer in FIG.

Next, the reference image 1101 and the peripheral image 1102 performed by the display control unit 307 in the present embodiment.
The procedure of the display control processing of 1109 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the display control process according to this embodiment.

In the flowchart of FIG. 13, first,
It is determined whether or not there is an instruction to display the catalog viewer 1100, that is, whether or not the icon 611 is checked (step S1301), and if there is an instruction (step S1301: Yes), then the horizontal axis is displayed. It is determined whether or not the vertical axis parameter has been designated (step S1302).

In step S1302, if parameters are specified (step S1302: Yes),
The designated parameter is set (step S13).
03). On the other hand, if the parameter is not specified in step S1302 (step S1302: No)
Sets the parameter set as the default value as the designated parameter (step S130).
4).

Next, step S1303 or S13
The parameter values of the reference image 1101 for the parameters of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis set in 04 are acquired from the parameter management unit 402 (step S1305).

Next, the peripheral image 1102, that is, the peripheral image arranged on the upper left side of the reference image 1101 is created (step S1306). Specifically, the reference image 110
The parameter value of the parameter on the horizontal axis of 1 is x = 0,
Let x-10 be the parameter value of the parameter on the horizontal axis of the peripheral image 1102. Similarly for the vertical axis, the parameter value of the reference image is set to y = 0, and y + 10 is set to the vertical axis parameter. Therefore, the parameter value of the peripheral image 1102 is (x-10, y + 10).

The processing from step S1307 to step S1313 is performed in the same procedure as step S1306. However, the order of the processing from step S1306 to step S1313 is not limited to this order. Further, in each step, the parameter value is calculated with reference to the parameter value of the reference image 1101. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the parameter value of another peripheral image already created among the eight peripheral images is used as a reference. It may be calculated.

Next, all the peripheral images 1102 to 11
After the creation of 09 is finished, the reference image 1101 is displayed on the display screen (step S1314), and subsequently,
The peripheral images 1102-1109 are also displayed on the display screen (step S1315).

Note that all the peripheral images 1102 are also here.
Although the reference image 1101 is displayed after the creation of the to 1109 is finished, the reference image 1101 may be displayed before the creation of the peripheral images 1102 to 1109. Further, although the peripheral images 1102 to 1109 are also displayed after all the peripheral images have been created, they may be sequentially displayed from the created peripheral images.

Next, it is determined whether or not the parameter has been re-designated for changing the currently set parameter (step S1316). In step S1316, if the parameter is re-designated (step S
1316: Yes) moves to step S1303,
The same process is repeated thereafter.

On the other hand, in step S1316, when the parameter is not re-designated (step S1316:
No), it is determined whether or not the "close" button 1114 for closing the catalog viewer 1100 has been pressed (step S1317).

In step S1317, "close"
When the button 1114 is pressed (step S131
7: Yes), the catalog viewer 1100 is closed (step S1318), and all the processes are ended.

On the other hand, if the "close" button 1114 is not pressed in step S1317 (step S13).
1317: No) moves to step S1316 and repeats the same processing thereafter.

As described above, when changing the parameter value of the reference image, it is possible to refer to the peripheral image. In particular, since the peripheral images are arranged in the vicinity of the reference image in correspondence with the vertical and horizontal parameters, it is possible to intuitively recognize the amount of change in the parameter value, the degree of change in the image, and the balance with other parameters. In addition, the parameter value can be changed quickly and efficiently.

Next, the function of designating an arbitrary one of the peripheral images and extracting the designated peripheral image as the reference image will be described. FIG. 14 is a block diagram functionally showing another configuration of the display controller 307 and its peripheral portion of the image processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. Surrounding image designation unit 1401 and reference image extraction unit 1
The other parts except for 402 have the same structure as the structure shown in FIG.

In FIG. 14, a peripheral image designation unit 1401
Is a designation unit for designating one peripheral image from the peripheral images displayed on the display screen. Specifically, the peripheral image specifying unit 1401 specifies one peripheral image in the peripheral images based on the instruction signal from the operation instructing unit 301. For example, the mouse 212 is used to move the mouse cursor to a region where the peripheral image to be designated is displayed, and the mouse is clicked there to designate one peripheral image.
Alternatively, one peripheral image may be designated using the arrow keys of the keyboard 211.

Further, the reference image extracting section 1402 extracts the peripheral image designated by the peripheral image designating section 1401 as a reference image. Therefore, the peripheral image designation unit 140
The peripheral image designated by 1 is the reference image extracting unit 14
By 02, the image which has been the reference image until then is treated as the reference image.

The peripheral image designation section 1401 and the reference image extraction section 1402 are respectively in the ROM 202 and the RAM 203.
Or hard disk 205, floppy disk 20
The functions of each unit are realized by the CPU 201 and the like executing instruction processing in accordance with instructions written in a program such as an OS and application programs recorded in a recording medium such as 7.

Next, the contents of the peripheral image designation process and the reference image extraction process will be described using a specific display screen. FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a part (catalog viewer 1100) of the display screen displayed on the display unit 308 of the image processing apparatus according to the present embodiment. Figure 15
In (a), the display screen 900 displays a reference image and peripheral images in a 3 × 3 matrix. For convenience of description, numbers A1 to C3 are added to these images. Therefore, the reference image is B2.

The mouse cursor 1501 moves on the display screen by operating the mouse 212. The mouse cursor 1501 changes its shape depending on the moved position. In FIG. 15A, since the peripheral image A3 is located at the position of the peripheral image A3 and the peripheral image A3 is moved diagonally downward to the left by the designation, the shape of the mouse cursor 1501 is also diagonally inclined to the left so as to show the moving direction. It has a shape with arrows pointing downward and diagonally upward to the right. Even when the mouse cursor is moved to the position of the peripheral image C1, the mouse cursor has the same shape.

Similarly, when the mouse cursor 1501 is moved to the position of the peripheral image B1 or B3, the mouse cursor 1501 becomes a mouse cursor having a horizontal arrow, and the peripheral image A
When moved to the position of 2 or C2, the mouse cursor becomes a shape having up and down arrows, and when moved to the position of the peripheral image A1 or C3, a shape having diagonally downward right and diagonally upward left arrows. It becomes the mouse cursor of.

Here, the mouse cursor 1501 is clicked within the display area of the peripheral image A3 arranged on the upper right side of the reference image. The display state of the display screen after clicking is shown in FIG. It can be seen that the peripheral image A3 has moved to the position where the reference image is arranged. Along with this movement, B2, which is the reference image, moves to the lower left side. In other words, the entire image has moved to the lower left by one image in association with the designation of the peripheral image on the upper right side. In this way, the entire image moves so that the specified peripheral image moves to the position of the reference image.

Also, with the movement of the peripheral image A3 whose parameter value was (10, 10), the image with the new parameter value (x + 10, y + 10) is newly arranged at the position where the peripheral image A3 is originally arranged. Is the peripheral image creation unit 40
It is created by 4, so (10 + 10,10 + 1
0), that is, the peripheral image having the parameter value of (20, 20) is displayed. In this way, as a result, the parameter values of the two parameters of the selected image can be simultaneously changed.

Next, the procedure of the peripheral image specifying process and the reference image extracting process performed by the peripheral image specifying unit 1401 and the reference image extracting unit 1402 in this embodiment will be described.
