Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-240737

In the shooting box, various correction processes described above are performed on the shot image to create an image for printing, and the image is printed. These correction processes are performed on the image downloaded from the server as described above. It cannot be applied as it is. For example, the above-mentioned correction for a camera is necessary for a captured image, but is not necessary for an image downloaded from a server.

Further, the image creation correction is set on the premise that the correction for the camera is performed, and the correction for the media also compensates for the change in the shooting system as described above.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a photographic apparatus or the like capable of obtaining a desired printed matter when printing an image downloaded from a server.

The first invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a shooting unit that shoots a user with a camera, a download unit that downloads an image from a server, a shot image obtained by shooting with the shooting unit, and the server. It has an image correction unit that performs image correction to color-convert the downloaded image obtained by downloading from the above to create a print image, and a print unit that prints the print image by a printer, and has the image correction. The unit is a photography apparatus characterized in that different image corrections are performed between the photographed image and the downloaded image.

The photographic apparatus of the present invention performs image correction processing on an image depending on whether all processing from photography to printing is performed by the photographic apparatus or only the downloaded image is printed by the photographic apparatus. To switch. As a result, it is possible to perform appropriate image correction for each of the photographed image and the downloaded image, and it is possible to obtain a desired printed matter when printing not only the photographed image but also the downloaded image.

As the image correction, the image correction unit performs corrections for eliminating individual differences in the camera, corrections for eliminating individual differences in the printer, and variations in print media for the captured image. The correction for eliminating the individual difference is executed, the downloaded image is not corrected for eliminating the individual difference of the camera, the correction for eliminating the individual difference of the printer, and the correction for the print media. It is desirable to make corrections to eliminate variations.
This makes it possible to perform only the image correction processing necessary for the downloaded image and obtain a desired printed matter when printing the downloaded image.

It is desirable to switch the correction for eliminating the variation in the print media between the captured image and the downloaded image.
As described above, for the photographed image, the correction for eliminating the variation in the media compensates for the change in the photographing system such as the strobe, the lens, and the dirt in the box. On the other hand, for downloaded images, corrections for eliminating media variations that are not affected by such changes in the shooting system can be performed in the original sense.

It is desirable that the image correction unit performs correction according to the image acquisition method as the image correction, and switches the correction according to the image acquisition method between the captured image and the downloaded image. For example, the download unit downloads the data for the correction according to the image acquisition method for the downloaded image from the server.
By this correction, it is possible to obtain a printed matter of image quality and color suitable for an ID photo or the like from a photographed image, and to obtain a printed matter of image quality and color suitable for a general photograph or the like from a downloaded image. By storing the correction data for the downloaded image in the server, it becomes easy to change or add the correction method.

It is desirable that the image correction unit further performs color conversion by correction according to the setting of the filter processing by the user, and switches the correction according to the setting of the filter processing between the captured image and the downloaded image. For example, the download unit downloads the data for the correction according to the setting of the filter processing for the downloaded image from the server.
Normally, the content of the image is different between the image taken in the shooting box and the downloaded image. For example, an image taken in a shooting box is often an image in which a person's face is shown on a plain background, but a downloaded image is often a general image, and the background is often more complicated. Therefore, if the correction at the time of filtering in the captured image is applied to the downloaded image as it is, the intended effect is often not obtained. Therefore, by switching the correction at the time of the filter processing between the photographed image and the downloaded image, it is possible to perform the filter processing for the downloaded image on the downloaded image and obtain a desired printed matter. Also in this case, by storing the correction data for the downloaded image in the server, it becomes easy to change or add the correction method.

The second invention is an image printing system comprising the photography apparatus of the first invention, a user terminal, and the server, wherein the user terminal transmits an image to the server. ..
