DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image effect processing method, and more particularly to an image effect processing method for performing a plurality of image effects and a computer to which the image effect processing method is applied.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional image effect processing method for a personal computer, it is necessary to prepare an image effect for each effect in order to obtain a desired image effect.
In addition, in order to use a plurality of image effects and obtain a desired image effect, it was necessary to repeat a series of procedures. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a conventional image effect processing method. Referring to FIG. 4, a first conventional image effect processing method is to convert image data 41 before processing into basic special effect means 42.
, Basic special effect means 43 and basic special effect means 44
And the composite special effect means 46 composed of the basic special effect means 45 to execute image effect processing and create processed image data 47. Further, in the second conventional image effect processing method, the basic special effect means 42, the basic special effect means 43, the basic special effect means 44, and the basic special effect means 45 are sequentially and individually executed, and The image data 47 is created.

The technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-46463 is a technique for generating various three-dimensional special effect images when various viewpoints are changed without preparing many functions.

[0004]

A first problem of the above-mentioned first conventional image effect processing method is that an image effect is required for each effect in order to obtain a desired image effect. Is not easy to find. The reason for this is that, as shown in FIG. 4, since the combined basic special effect means exists individually, it has a huge number of special effect means.

A second problem of the above-mentioned first conventional image effect processing method is that only the prepared basic special effect means can be used. The reason for this is that only basic special effect means determined from the beginning are prepared, so that only one of them can be selected.

A first problem of the above-mentioned second conventional image effect processing method is that a plurality of image effect methods must be used and each basic special effect means must be sequentially executed in order to obtain a desired image effect. That is, the operability is poor.

Further, the technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-46463 has a problem that it can be used only for an approximated special effect because a function is used.

An object of the present invention is to reduce the size and weight of a program and improve operability by creating only basic special effect means and enabling individual combinations.
