<2.3. Image editing process>
Next, the image editing process (step S30) will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the image editing process.

  While the user moves from the shooting booth 2 to the editing booth 4, the CPU 103 performs graffiti preprocessing on the six normal up images UP1 to UP6 generated in the shooting process (S212) (step S311). .

  FIG. 10 is an operation flowchart of the graffiti preprocessing. The CPU 103 sequentially reads out the normal up image to be processed from the memory 105 (step S3111), generates lip mask information for the read out normal up image, and stores the lip mask information in the memory 105 in association with the normal up image. (Step S3112). The lip mask information is information indicating the region of the lip portion of the subject in the normal up image. The CPU 103 performs face recognition processing on the normal up image, specifies the lip portion of the subject included in the normal up image, and generates lip mask information. In the present embodiment, an area larger than the lip area specified by the face recognition process is specified as the lip portion. The lip area specified by the face recognition process may be displaced from the lip area of the actual subject in the normal up image. In this embodiment, editing that adds a lip portion cannot be performed by a user's operation, but it is possible to erase a portion that protrudes from an actual lip region by using a lip eraser described later. ing. Therefore, in the lip mask information, an area larger than the lip area specified by the face recognition process is specified as the lip portion so that the lip area of the actual subject is included as much as possible.

  Next, in the normal up image to be processed, the CPU 103 performs image processing based on a plurality of predetermined lip attribute information on the area indicated by the lip mask information generated in step S3112, and performs a filter image of the lip portion. Are generated, and the data of the plurality of filter images are stored in the memory 105 in association with the normal up image (step S3113).

  In the present embodiment, the attribute information includes the color of the lips (RGB values) and information indicating the texture of the lips such as gloss, but it is sufficient that the attribute information includes at least information indicating the color of the lips. In this example, eight types of attribute information are set. Hereinafter, the eight types of attribute information are referred to as attribute information a to h. In this example, the attribute information a and c, b and d, e and g, and f and h have the same lip color (RGB value). The attribute information a, b, e, and f include image processing parameters for representing a glossy texture, and the attribute information c, d, g, and h include image processing parameters for representing a glossy texture. Note that the number of types of attribute information may be two or more, and is not limited to eight.

  The CPU 103 generates an image of the lip portion with the lip color included in each of the attribute information a to h in the region indicated by the lip mask information in the normal up image. Then, image processing such as sharpening and blurring processing is performed on the image with the lip color indicated by each attribute information using the image processing parameters included in the attribute information, thereby obtaining the attribute information. A filter image having a corresponding texture is generated. Thereby, eight filter images LPa to LPh based on the eight types of attribute information a to h are generated for one normal up image. The colors (RGB values) of the sets of the filter images LPa and LPc, the filter images LPb and LPd, the filter images LPe and LPg, and the filter images LPf and LPh are the same. The filter images LPa, LPb, LPe, and LPf represent a glossy texture, and the filter images LPc, LPd, LPg, and LPh represent a glossy texture.

  CPU 103 completes the process of generating one lip mask information and eight lip filter images LPa to LPh for every six normal up images UP1 to UP6 (in the case of No in step S3114), in steps S3111 to S3113. Repeat the process. When the CPU 103 finishes the process of generating the lip mask information and the filter image for the normal up images UP1 to UP6 (Yes in step S3114), it ends the pre-graffitiing process.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 (see FIG. 4) to display a standby screen (not shown) for displaying, for example, a demonstration video concerning image editing after the pre-grafting process (step S <b> 312).

  When the user who has moved from the shooting booth 2 to the editing booth 4 touches the standby screen with the touch pen 412 (see FIG. 4), the CPU 103 determines the size of the finished eye and the image of each normal up image generated in step S212. A screen (not shown) for selecting the brightness is displayed on the editing display 411, and selection by the user is accepted (step S313).

  The CPU 103 performs image processing according to the size and brightness of the eyes selected in step S313 on each of the normal up images UP1 to UP6 and the special image UP7. For example, for the special image UP7, for example, Image processing for converting the normal up image UP into a monochrome image is performed. After the image processing of the normal up images UP1 to UP6 and the special image UP7, the CPU 103 trims the normal up images UP1 to UP6 and the special image UP7 to have a predetermined image size.

  In the present embodiment, the normal up images UP1 to UP6 are trimmed to a predetermined image size in which the aspect ratio of the image is 1.2: 1, for example. The special image UP7 is trimmed to an image size larger than that of the normal up images UP1 to UP6 with the same aspect ratio as that of the normal up images UP1 to UP6. In the case of the up whole body photographing course, in addition to the four normal up images, two normal whole body images in which the whole body of the subject is photographed are generated. The normal whole body image is trimmed to a predetermined image size that is longer than the normal up image, for example, the aspect ratio is 16: 9.

  Thus, six photo images T1 to T6 (hereinafter referred to as normal up photo images) based on the normal up images UP1 to UP6 and one photo image T7 (hereinafter referred to as special images) based on the special image UP7. (Referred to as a photographic image) is generated (step S314).

  After step S314, the CPU 103 displays an editing screen on the editing display 411 and starts graffiti processing (editing processing) (step S315).

  FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating an editing screen in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the editing screen 410 includes a graffiti guidance display area 4100, an editing area 4101 (4101A, 4101B), a thumbnail image display area 4102 (4102A, 4102B), and a tool selection tab 4103 (4103A, 4103B). A palette selection tab 4104 (4104A, 4104B), an editing tool display area 4105 (4105A, 4105B), and an END button 4107 (4107A, 4107B).

  In the graffiti guidance display area 4100, a moving image for guiding graffiti is displayed. In the thumbnail image display area 4102, thumbnail images S (S 1 to S 6) that have been reduced while maintaining the aspect ratio of each of the six normal up-photo images T 1 to T 6 generated in step S 314 are displayed in the order of shooting. .

  In the editing areas 4101A and 4101B, in the initial state, among the thumbnail images S in the thumbnail image display areas 4102A and 4102B, a subject image that has been subjected to chroma key processing based on a normal up photo image of one different thumbnail image, and A photographic image in which a background image corresponding to the normal up photographic image is superimposed is displayed.

  The user on the left side facing the editing screen 410 uses the left touch pen 412 (see FIG. 4) to edit the photographic image P1 in the editing area 4101A. The user on the right side of the editing screen 410 edits the photographic image P2 in the editing area 4101B using the right touch pen 412 (see FIG. 4). In this example, the photographic image P1 is a photographic image obtained by combining a normal up photo image T1 and a background image corresponding to the normal up photo image T1, and the photographic image P2 is a normal up photo image T2 and a normal up photo. It is the photographic image which synthesize | combined with the background image corresponding to the image T2.

  When each user touches one of the thumbnail images S displayed in the thumbnail image display areas 4102A and 4102B with the touch pen 412, the CPU 103 edits a photographic image corresponding to the thumbnail image touched with each touch pen 412. Displayed in areas 4101A and 4101B. In the example of FIG. 11, the thumbnail image S1 is selected in the thumbnail image display area 4102A, and the thumbnail image S2 is selected in the thumbnail image display area 4102B. In the thumbnail image display areas 4102A and 4102B, the CPU 103 causes the characters “Rakugaku” to be displayed in the display areas of the thumbnail images S1 and S2 of the photographic images displayed in the editing areas 4101A and 4101B.

  The editing screen 410 displays an editing tool for decorating the photographic image displayed in the editing area 4101. The editing tool includes an edited image that can be combined with a photographic image displayed in the editing area 4101. The edited images are classified according to the use and function of the edited image. In the example of FIG. 11, “special”, “stamp & message”, “fashion”, and “shown” shown in the tool selection tab 4103 (4103A, 4103B). It is categorized by “Pen” tool.

  Each user selects the tool selection tab 4103 of the desired tool with the touch pen 412. In the example of FIG. 11, a “fashion” tool is selected by the left user, and a “special” tool is selected by the right user.

  In addition, the edited images of each tool are classified into categories corresponding to the decoration images. The decoration image indicates any one of the contents and meaning represented by the decoration of the edited image, the atmosphere and taste of the decoration, the decoration mode, and the like. In the example of FIG. 11, the “special” tool provides an edited image 418 that individually represents a user's name, date, and the like, and this edited image 418 includes “name”, It is classified into the categories of “date”, “birthday”, “anniversary”, and “season”.

  The “fashion” tool provides an edited image 418 for decorating the user's face, such as applying makeup on the user's face in a photographic image or decorating with a ribbon, glasses, or the like. The edited images 418 of the “fashion” tool are classified into the categories of “lip”, “blush”, “disguise graffiti”, and “ribbon / glasses” as shown in the palette selection tab 4104A.

  Each user selects a palette selection tab 4104 of a desired category with the touch pen 412. In the example of FIG. 11, the “lip” category in the “fashion” tool is selected by the user on the left side, and the “name” category in the “special” tool is selected by the user on the right side. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the editing tool display area 4105B on the right side where the “special” tool is selected, a plurality of edited images 418 belonging to the “name” category are displayed. The user selects the desired edited image 418 with the touch pen 412, and edits the photographic image P2 by placing the selected edited image 418 at a position desired by the user on the photographic image.

  In the editing tool display area 4105A on the left side where the “fashion” tool is selected, a plurality of edited images 418 (418a to 418h) belonging to the “lip” category are displayed. The edited images 418a to 418h correspond to the lip attribute information a to h described above, and represent colors and textures that can be attached to the lips of the subject in the photographic image P1 displayed in the editing area 4101A. In this example, the edited images 418a, 418b, 418e, and 418f are images that respectively represent the color and texture indicated by the attribute information a, b, e, and f, and the edited images 418c, 418d, 418g, and 418h are attribute information c. , D, g, h are images representing the color and texture, respectively. That is, the same color (RGB value) is assigned to each set of the edited images 418a and 418c, the edited images 418b and 418d, the edited images 418e and 418g, and the edited images 418f and 418h. Further, the edited images 418a, 418b, 418e, and 418f are expressed with a glossy texture, and the edited images 418c, 418d, 418g, and 418h are expressed with a glossy texture.

  Further, on the left side of the edited images 418a to 418h, an image image 419 that has been subjected to image processing for giving any color and texture of the attribute information a to h to the lips of the model in the image obtained by photographing the model is displayed.

  When the “lip” category is selected, the CPU 103 performs a lip editing process. Hereinafter, the lip editing process will be described.

  When finishing the lips of the subject in the photographic image P1 displayed in the editing area 4101A with the color and texture of the lips corresponding to any of the editing images 418a to 418h, the user touches the desired editing image 418 with the touch pen 412. . By this operation, the CPU 103 reads out the filter image generated based on the attribute information of the lips corresponding to the selected edited image 418 out of the filter images LPa to LPh stored in the memory 105, and reads the filter image. The image is displayed on the photographic image P1. Then, the CPU 103 stores identification information indicating the edited image 418 selected by the user as lip editing information in the memory 105 in association with the photographic image P1.

  FIG. 12A is a diagram exemplifying a state in which the edited image 418a is selected and the filter image LPa generated based on the attribute information a corresponding to the edited image 418a is synthesized on the photographic image P1. Hereinafter, an image obtained by combining a filter image with a photographic image is referred to as an edited photographic image. The filter image Lpa includes a lip image LPa_L superimposed on the left person image 400L and a lip image LPa_R superimposed on the right person image 400R, as shown in FIG. 12A.

  The photographic image P1 (see FIG. 11) before the filter image LPa is synthesized includes a background layer L1 on which the background image 401 shown in FIG. 12B is drawn, and a person layer L2 on which the subject image 400 shown in FIG. 12C is drawn. Is synthesized. The background image 401 is a background image (step S116 in FIG. 7) selected for the normal up photo image T1 that is the original image of the photo image P1. The subject image 400 is an image of only the subject through which the background of the normal up-photo image T1 is transmitted, and includes a left person image 400L and a right person image 400R in FIG. 12C.

  FIG. 12D is a schematic view illustrating a filter layer L3 synthesized on the photographic image P1 obtained by synthesizing the background layer L1 and the person layer L2. In the filter layer L3, the solid line portion represents the filter image LPa. The broken line portion in the filter layer L3 merely represents the subject image in the normal up photo image T1 similar to the subject image 400 in the person layer L2, for convenience, and the filter layer L3 has a lip mask for the normal up photo image T1. Based on the information, only the filter image LPa is drawn. The filter image LPa is located in the lip region in the subject image indicated by the broken line, and is subjected to image processing that is given the color of the lips indicated by the attribute information a and expresses a matte texture.

  As described above, the lip portion indicated by the lip mask information is larger than the lip region of the subject specified by the face recognition process of the normal up image. Therefore, in the filter layer L3, the lip region indicated by the filter image LPa (LPa_L, LPa_R) drawn based on the lip mask information is the image 400L in the subject image 400 shown in FIG. 12C and the lip region 402L in the image 400R. , 402R. In this case, the user touches the lip eraser 4111 displayed in the editing tool display area 4105A of the “lip” category with the touch pen 412, and the protruding lip portion in the edited photo image 4000 shown in FIG. You can erase by tracing. When the edited photo image 4000 is traced by the lip eraser 4111, the CPU 103 displays the traced portion in the filter layer L3 in a transparent manner. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13A, in the edited photo image 4000, the broken line portions 403L and 403R in the filter layer L3 traced with the touch pen 412 disappear, and the photo image P1 appears under the broken line portions 403L and 403R. The CPU 103 associates the lip editing mask 403D shown in FIG. 13B representing the regions 403L and 403R traced with the touch pen 412 with the photographic image P1 together with the identification information indicating the edited image 418 selected by the user as the lip editing information. Store in the memory 105.

  When an edit image 418b different from the edit image 418a is touched by the user, the CPU 103 reads the filter image LPb generated based on the attribute information b corresponding to the edit image 418b from the memory 105, The filter image LPb is edited with reference to the lip editing mask 403D stored in 105. Similarly to the filter image LPa, the filter image LPb includes a lip image LPb_L superimposed on the left person image 400L shown in FIG. 12A and a lip image LPb_R superimposed on the right person image 400R. Then, the edited filter image LPb is drawn on the filter layer L3, and is displayed over the photographic image P1. More specifically, all the images already drawn on the filter layer L3 are deleted. Then, in the filter image LPb read from the memory 105, an image through which the pixel corresponding to the lip editing mask 403D shown in FIG. 13B is transmitted is drawn on the filter layer L3. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13C, the lip editing mask 403D is edited on the filter image LPb_L and the filter image LPb_R, and an edited photographic image 4001 in which a color different from FIG. 12A is attached to the lips of the subject images 400L and 400R. Is displayed in the edit area 4101A. The CPU 103 stores the identification information of the edited image 418b instead of the identification information of the edited image 418a in the lip editing information of the photographic image P1.

  Although illustration is omitted, in the edited photo image 4001 shown in FIG. 13C, when the user further performs an operation of tracing the lip portion using the lip eraser 4111, the CPU 103 adds a new lip edit mask 403D to the lip edit mask 403D. The newly traced portion is transmitted and displayed in the filter layer L3. The CPU 103 adds the newly traced portion to the lip editing mask 403D as the lip editing information of the photographic image P1, updates the lip editing mask 403D, and stores it in the memory 105.

  Further, the user touches the “lip OFF” button 4110 displayed in the editing tool display area 4105A shown in FIG. 11 with the touch pen 412 to collectively delete the edits applied to the edited photo image 4000 or 4001, It is possible to return to the original photographic image P1. When the CPU 103 receives a touch operation of the “lip OFF” button 4110, the lip editing information of the image drawn on the filter layer L 3 combined with the photographic image P 1 and the photographic image P 1 stored in the memory 105 is displayed. The lip editing mask and the identification information indicating the selected editing information 418 are deleted. Then, a flag indicating that there is no lip editing information for the photographic image P1 is stored in association with the photographic image P1.

  In this example, for convenience, editing using the “lip” category has been mainly described as image editing for a photographic image. However, editing using a tool or category other than the “lip” category may be performed. When the user performs an operation to arrange an edited image 418 of a tool other than the “fashion” tool or an edited image 418 of a category other than the “lip” category on the photo image displayed in the editing area 4101. The CPU 103 edits the edited image 418 on the photographic image in the editing area 4101. Then, data of the selected edited image 418 is stored in the memory 105 as an edited image for composition of the photographic image.

  In FIG. 11, each user selects another thumbnail image in the thumbnail image display area 4102 and switches the display of the photographic image in the edit area 4101 when the graffiti on the photographic image being displayed in the edit area 4101 is finished. Each user touches “END” buttons 4107A and 4107B when the graffiti is finished for all the photographic images.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the CPU 103 ends the graffiti process in step S <b> 315 by a touch operation of the “END” button 4107 by the user.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 uses the background image selected in step S116 and the lip editing information and the composition editing image stored in the memory 105 in the graffiti process for every six photographic images (normally up photographic images). Then, an image for transmission is generated (step S316). The transmission image is an image to be displayed on the mobile phone, and is an image obtained by applying a predetermined processing for image transmission suitable for display on the mobile phone to the normal up-photo image. Details of the transmission image generation process will be described below.

  FIG. 14 is an operation flowchart of the transmission image generation process. The CPU 103 reads the normal up photo image T1 out of the six normal up photo images T1 to T6 generated in step S314 and stored in the memory 105 (step S3161). The CPU 103 performs scaling according to the screen size of the mobile phone and trims the read normal up photo image T1 to generate a transmission base image TS1 (step S3162). In the generation of the transmission base image TS1, image processing such as processing for correcting the face line of the subject in the normal up photo image T1 may be performed.

  Next, in the graffiti process in step S315, the CPU 103 determines whether there is lip editing information for the photographic image P1 synthesized with the normal up photographic image T1 (step S3163). When the lip editing information for the photographic image P1 is stored in the memory 105 (Yes in step S3163), the CPU 103 determines the lip mask information for the normal up image UP1 generated in step S3112 and the lip editing information. A lip correction mask is generated using the lip editing mask (step S3164). The lip correction mask is mask information generated by subtracting the lip editing area indicated by the lip editing mask from the lip area indicated by the lip mask information.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 refers to the identification information indicating the edited image 418 in the lip editing information of the photographic image P1 stored in the memory 105. Then, predetermined image processing such as sharpening processing or blurring processing is performed on the image of the lip color (RGB value) indicated by the attribute information corresponding to the identification information, using the image processing parameters representing the texture indicated by the attribute information. The lip image MP1 is generated, and the lip image MP1 is combined with the region indicated by the lip correction mask in the transmission base image TS1 (step S3165). For synthesizing the transmission base image TS1 and the lip image MP1, for example, a synthesis method such as multiplication synthesis or screen synthesis is used. In this example, the example in which the lip image MP1 is finished to a texture corresponding to the attribute information by performing the sharpening process and the blurring process has been described, but the texture corresponding to the attribute information is represented in a part of the lip image MP1. Images may be combined.

  Next, the CPU 103 performs image processing for image transmission on the transmission base image TS1 combined with the lip image MP1 based on attribute information corresponding to the identification information (step S3166).

  Specifically, the CPU 103 sets the lip image MP1 so that the color when the lip image MP1 is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone is substantially the same as the color of the filter image displayed on the edit screen 410. The brightness and saturation of the lip image MP1 are corrected by adjusting the tone curve. As a result, the transmission base image TS1 combined with the lip image MP1 becomes a color image suitable for the screen of the mobile phone.

  The CPU 103 combines the background image corresponding to the normal up-photo image T1 with the transmission base image TS1 combined with the image-processed lip image MP1 to generate the transmission image PS1 (step S3167). In the graffiti processing, when an edited image 418 of a category other than “lip” or a tool other than “fashion” tool is selected and arranged for the photo image P 1, the CPU 103 is further stored in the memory 105. An image for transmission is generated by synthesizing the editing image for synthesis of the photographic image P1.

  In step S3163, if the lip editing information for the photographic image P1 is not stored in the memory 105 (No in step S3163), the CPU 103 stores the normal image stored in the memory 105 in the transmission base image TS1. A background image corresponding to the up-photo image T1 is synthesized to generate a transmission image PS1 (step S3168). Further, in the graffiti process, when an edited image 418 of a category other than “lip” or a tool other than “fashion” tool is selected and arranged for the photo image P 1, the CPU 103 further stores it in the memory 105. An image for transmission is generated by compositing the editing image for compositing the photographic image P1.

  The CPU 103 repeats the processes of steps S3161 to S3169 for the remaining normal up photo images T2 to T6 until the transmission images are generated for all the normal up photo images T1 to T6 (No in step S3169). When CPU 103 generates transmission images PS1 to PS6 for all normal up-photo images T1 to T6 (Yes in step S3169), CPU 103 ends the transmission image generation processing.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the CPU 103 uses the background image selected in step S <b> 116 after the transmission image generation processing in step S <b> 316 and the lip editing information and the composition editing image stored in the memory 105 in the graffiti processing. Printing image generation processing for generating a printing image is performed (step S317). The image for printing is an image printed on a sticker paper, and is an image obtained by applying a predetermined printing process suitable for printing on a sticker paper to a normal up-photo image. Details of the print image generation process will be described below.

  FIG. 15 is an operation flowchart of the print image generation process. The CPU 103 reads the normal up photo image T1 out of the six normal up photo images T1 to T6 generated in step S314 and stored in the memory 105 (step S3171). The CPU 103 performs trimming on the read normal up photo image T1 by performing scaling according to the print area for the normal up photo image on the sticker paper, and generates the print base image TP1 (step S3172). In the generation of the printing base image TP1, image processing such as processing for correcting the face line of the subject in the normal up-photo image T1 may be performed.

  Next, in the graffiti process in step S315, the CPU 103 determines whether or not there is lip editing information for the photo image P1 synthesized with the normal up photo image T1 (step S3173). When the lip editing information for the photographic image P1 is stored in the memory 105 (Yes in step S3173), the CPU 103 determines the lip mask information for the normal up image UP1 generated in step S3112 and the lip editing information. A lip correction mask is generated using the lip editing mask (step S3174).

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 refers to the identification information indicating the edited image 418 in the lip editing information of the photographic image P1 stored in the memory 105. Then, predetermined processing such as sharpening processing or blurring processing using image processing parameters representing the texture indicated by the attribute information is applied to the image of the lip color (RGB value) indicated by the attribute information corresponding to the identification information of the edited image 418. The lip image MP1 is generated by performing the image processing, and the lip image MP1 is combined with the region indicated by the lip edit mask in the printing base image TP1 (step S3175). For the synthesis of the printing base image TP1 and the lip image MP1, for example, a synthesis method such as multiplication synthesis or screen synthesis is used. Similar to the transmission image, an image representing a texture corresponding to the attribute information may be combined with a part of the lip image MP1 to finish the lip image MP1 so as to have a texture corresponding to the attribute information.

  Next, the CPU 103 performs image processing for printing on the printing base image TP1 combined with the lip image MP1 based on attribute information corresponding to the identification information (step S3166).

  Specifically, the CPU 103 sets the tone curve of the lip image MP1 so that the color when the lip image MP1 is printed on the sticker paper is substantially the same as the color of the filter image displayed on the editing screen 410. Is adjusted to correct the brightness and saturation of the lip image MP1. Thus, the printing base image TP1 combined with the lip image MP1 becomes a color image suitable for the sticker paper.

  The CPU 103 combines the background image corresponding to the normal up-photo image T1 with the printing base image TP1 combined with the image-processed lip image MP1 to generate the printing image PP1 (step S3177). In the graffiti processing, when an edited image 418 of a category other than “lip” or a tool other than “fashion” tool is selected and arranged for the photo image P 1, the CPU 103 is further stored in the memory 105. A print image is generated by synthesizing the edit image for synthesis of the photographic image P1.

  In step S3173, if the lip editing information for the photo image P1 is not stored in the memory 105 (No in step S3173), the CPU 103 corresponds to the normal up photo image T1 for the print base image TP1. The background image to be synthesized is combined to generate the printing image PP1 (step S3178). Further, in the graffiti process, when an edited image 418 of a category other than “lip” or a tool other than “fashion” tool is selected and arranged for the photo image P 1, the CPU 103 further stores it in the memory 105. The print image is generated by synthesizing the synthesized edit image of the photographic image P1.

  The CPU 103 repeatedly performs the processing of steps S3171 to S3179 for the remaining normal up photo images T2 to T6 until print images are generated for all the normal up photo images T1 to T6 (No in step S3179). When the CPU 103 generates the printing images PP1 to PP6 for all the normal up photo images T1 to T6 (Yes in step S3179), the printing image generation processing is ended.

  Returning to FIG. 9, after the print image generation processing, the CPU 103 displays a sheet layout selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411 and accepts selection of the sheet layout by the user (step S <b> 318).

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 generates a sheet image for printing on the sticker sheet based on the sheet layout selected by the user (step S319). Specifically, the CPU 103 arranges the printing images PP1 to PP6 generated in step S317 in the normal up-photo image area in the selected sheet layout, for example, the sheet image 511 illustrated in FIG. Is generated. As shown in FIG. 16, printing images PP <b> 1 to PP <b> 6 are arranged on the sheet image 511 in each region for normal up photo images.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the post-service unit 5 is available (step S320). When the subsequent customer service section 5 is not available (No in step S320), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) for prompting the user to wait on the editing display 411 (step S321). When the subsequent customer service section 5 is available (Yes in step S320), the CPU 103 transmits the sheet image 511 generated in step S319 to the printer 650 and starts printing (step S322). Further, the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a guide screen (not shown) for guiding the user to the post-service section 5 (step S323). The CPU 103 may cause the speaker 413 to output a voice for guiding the user to the post-service section 5 together with the display of the guidance screen.

<2.4. Subsequent customer service>
Next, the subsequent customer service process (step S40) will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart of post-service processing.

  The CPU 103 displays a start screen on the reception display 51. When the user who has moved from the editing booth 4 touches the start screen with a finger, the image transmission process is started (step S411). Further, the CPU 103 outputs sound necessary for operation to the speaker 53.

  When the image transmission process is started, the CPU 103 causes the reception display 51 to display an image selection screen for selecting an image to be transmitted to the user's mobile phone. FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram illustrating an image selection screen.

  On the image selection screen 510, selection screens 5100A and 5100B for each user are displayed so that two users can select images. On the selection screens 5100A and 5100B, the six transmission images PS1 to PS6 generated in step S316 and the special photo image T7 are displayed. Of the images displayed on the selection screens 5100A and 5100B, when each user touches a desired image, one transmission target image to be transmitted to each user's mobile phone is selected.

  Each user touches the “OK” buttons 5101A and 5101B on the selection screens 5100A and 5100B when the selection of the transmission target images is completed. By this operation, the CPU 103 stores information on the selected transmission target image in the memory 105 for each user.

  Next, the CPU 103 displays an input screen (not shown) for prompting the user to input an email address in order to send a notification email describing the URL for acquiring the transmission target image selected by each user to the user. This is displayed on the reception display 51 (see FIG. 4). Each user inputs each mail address according to the guidance on the input screen.

  When the email address of each user is input on the input screen, the CPU 103 sends the email address for each user, the information on the transmission target image selected for each user, the transmission images PS1 to PS6, and the special photo image. The image data of T7 is transmitted to a server (not shown). The server obtains the image data of the transmission target image of each user out of the image data transmitted from the photography game machine 1 with the mail address of each user transmitted from the photography game machine 1 as a destination. A notification mail containing the URL is sent.

  Each user can acquire the selected transmission target image by receiving the notification mail from the server with each mobile phone and accessing the URL described in the notification mail. Each user can acquire all images not selected on the image selection screen 510 via the server by performing predetermined member registration.

  The process of step S411 is executed during the waiting time until the sheet image printing process in step S322 of FIG. 9 ends. When the printing of the sheet image 511 is completed in step S322, the CPU 103 discharges the sticker paper (photo sticker) on which the sheet image 511 is printed from the photo sticker discharge port 52 (step S412). Up to here is a series of plays for a set of users.

  In the above-described embodiment, the transmission image and the printing image are printed based on the base image for transmission that is trimmed at a size corresponding to each of the print area of the screen of the mobile phone and the sticker paper based on the normal up-photo image. Image processing for image transmission and image processing for printing based on attribute information, lip mask information, and lip editing mask representing the color and texture of the edited image 418 selected in the “lip” category with respect to the base image for printing Are each generated. Therefore, based on the edited photographic image with the color selected by the user attached to the lips of the subject in the photographic image, each trimming of the size corresponding to the screen of the mobile phone and the printing area of the sticker paper is performed and sent. Compared to the case of generating a trust image and a print image, the color of the lips in the transmission image and the print image is changed to a color different from that of the lips of the edited photo image, or the image becomes rough. Deterioration in image quality is unlikely to occur. As a result, it is possible to provide the user with a finished image suitable for each of the mobile phone and the sticker.

  In the above-described embodiment, before the start of graffiti (editing), graffiti preprocessing for generating lip mask information and filter images LPa to LPh based on the attribute information a to h for all normal up photo images I do. Therefore, after the start of the graffiti, a filter image representing the color and texture of the selected edited image 418 is generated according to the user's operation, and the filter image is displayed over the photographic image in the editing area 4101. In comparison, the processing load in graffiti processing can be reduced.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an edited photographic image obtained by combining a filter image representing the color and texture of the edited image 418 selected by the user with the photographic image is displayed. Then, the contents of editing performed on the lip portion of the subject in the edited photographic image are stored as a lip editing mask, and a transmission image and a printing image reflecting the editing contents of the lip editing mask are generated. Therefore, the user can perform desired editing on the lip portion in the displayed edited photograph image, and can obtain a transmission image and a printing image reflecting the edited contents.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the user edits the lip portion in the edited photo image and then selects the edited image 418 representing the color and texture indicated by the different attribute information, The edited photographic image synthesized with the photographic image is displayed by reflecting the edited contents on the filter image based on the attribute information. Since the eight filter images for one normal up photo image are generated based on the same lip mask information, the lip regions in the photographic images indicated by the eight filter images are the same. Therefore, when the edited image 418 representing the color and texture indicated by the different attribute information is selected, by reflecting the contents of the editing already performed on the filter image based on the attribute information, the user can It is not necessary to perform the same editing operation on the lip portion of the edited photo image as before, and the graffiti time can be shortened.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the lip editing process performed on the photographic image displayed in the editing area 4101 is collectively erased by touching the “lip OFF” button 4110. Therefore, the user can return to the state of the photographic image before the lip editing process simply by touching the “lip OFF” button 4110.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Hereinafter, modifications of the embodiment will be described.

  (1) In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the up photographing course is selected has been described. However, even when the up whole body photographing course is selected, the CPU 103, as in the up photographing course, Graffiti preprocessing is performed on a normal whole body photographic image obtained by trimming a normal whole body image to a predetermined size, and lip editing processing is performed in the graffiti processing.

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, the filter image combines the subject image and the background image in the normal up-photo image, and has the color and texture represented by the selected edited image 418 in the lip region indicated by the lip mask information. It may be an image subjected to image processing based on attribute information. When a filter image of only the lip portion is drawn on the filter layer L3 and displayed over the photographic image displayed in the editing region 4101, a region other than the lip portion indicated by the filter image is transmitted through the filter layer L3 and displayed. Therefore, lip mask information is necessary. Since the subject image and the background image are combined in the filter image in this modification, when the filter layer L3 is displayed over the photographic image displayed in the editing area 4101, the area other than the lips is transmitted. Since it is not necessary and lip mask information is not required, the amount of data necessary for displaying the edited photograph image can be reduced as compared with the filter image of the embodiment.

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the transmission image generation process and the print image generation process are performed after the graffiti process and before selecting the sheet layout in the image editing process has been described. The timing of the image generation process for transmission may be after the graffiti process and before the image transmission process in the post-service process, and the timing of the image generation process for printing is after the graffiti process and the sheet image generation process. If it is before.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, the image processing based on the attribute information representing the color and texture of any of the edited images 418a to 418h is applied to the editing tool display area 4105 in the “lip” category on the editing screen 410. Although the example in which the image 419 applied to the part is displayed has been described, the following configuration may be adopted. An image image obtained by performing image processing based on attribute information representing the color and texture of an arbitrary edited image 418 among the edited images 418a to 418h on the lip portion of the subject image extracted from the photographic image displayed in the editing area 4101. It may be displayed.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the image processing for image transmission and the image processing for printing are performed on the lip portion of the subject in the image generation processing for transmission and the image generation processing for printing has been described. For other parts, the color when displayed on the screen of the mobile phone and the color when printed on the sticker paper are substantially the same as the color of the photographic image displayed on the edit screen 410. Image processing for image transmission and printing may be performed.

  (6) In the above-described embodiment, when the “lip” category is selected, the photo image P1 displayed in the editing area 4101 of the editing screen 410 shown in FIG. 11 is larger than when editing with another editing tool. You may make it display. Specifically, when the “lip” category is selected, the lip mask information corresponding to the displayed photographic image P1 is referred to, for example, the photographic image P1 is enlarged based on the approximate center position of the left human lip. And displayed in the editing area 4101. In this case, it is preferable that the lip area indicated by the lip mask information is similarly enlarged and set so that the positions of the lips of all persons included in the enlarged lip mask information do not protrude from the editing area 4101. Further, buttons for changing the size of the photographic image such as “standard”, “slightly larger”, “larger”, etc. may be provided in the editing tool display area 415 so that the size of the displayed photographic image P1 can be changed. . The method for enlarging the photographic image is not particularly limited, as long as the lip eraser 4111 is used to make it easy to edit details of the lip portion in the photographic image.

  (7) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which any one of the edited images 418a to 418h is selected for the lips of all the subjects in the photographic image displayed in the editing area 4101 has been described. 418 may be selected. In this case, lip mask information for each subject and filter images based on eight types of attribute information are generated for each photo image. When the “lip” category is selected, a filter image based on attribute information corresponding to the edited image 418 selected for each subject is displayed over the photographic image based on the lip mask information of the subject, Identification information indicating the edited image 418 selected every time is stored as lip editing information for each subject. When the filter image superimposed on the photographic image is edited using the lip eraser 4111, the lip mask information of the subject including the edited edit area is associated with the lip edit mask indicating the edit area. Remember. When generating a transmission image and a printing image, a lip correction mask is generated based on the lip mask information for each subject and the lip editing mask for each photographic image, and the lip image is generated based on the lip editing information for each subject. Generate. Then, the lip image for each subject is synthesized at the position based on the lip correction mask for each subject in the transmission base image and the print base image.
