A photographic image is laid out for three E-size cards and eight card sizes.

When step S112 is entered, the state may be such that the tag image corresponding to the paper size selected in the index print in step S107 is pressed. When the print size is selected, the process proceeds to step S113.

In step S113, a process selection screen as shown in FIG. 8 (q) is displayed. "Start printing"
When the image of the button displayed is pressed, step S114 is performed.
Proceed to. When the button image displayed as “option setting” is pressed, a processing selection screen as shown in FIG. 8 (r) is displayed, and option settings for printing can be set.

Photographic images taken by a digital still camera often have an aspect ratio of 3: 4, such as 640 × 480 or 1024 × 768 pixels. On the other hand, generally used photo print sizes such as E size and L size have an aspect ratio different from 3: 4. In the present embodiment, when the option setting is not performed, or when “standard trimming” is selected on the screen shown in FIG. 8R, the photographic image data (the original data) is displayed as shown in FIG. ), After rotating the original data so that the long sides of the print area correspond to the long sides of the print area, if the aspect ratio of the original data is smaller than the aspect ratio of the print area (close to 1: 1), The upper side of the original data is trimmed and printed when the sides correspond to the longer sides of the print area. When the aspect ratio of the original data is larger than the aspect ratio of the print area, the short sides of the original data correspond to the short sides of the print area, and the left and right directions of the original data are trimmed and printed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a margin from being formed in the print area.

Further, some users may want to print the entire range without trimming the original data. In this case, "No trimming" is selected on the screen shown in FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the aspect ratio of the original data is smaller than the aspect ratio of the print area, the shorter side of the original data is made to correspond to the shorter side of the print area. If the aspect ratio is larger than the print area, the long side of the original data is printed in correspondence with the long side of the print area. Therefore, all of the original data is printed without being trimmed.

When the difference between the aspect ratio of the original data and the aspect ratio of the print area is small, the area to be trimmed when standard trimming is performed is small, but the aspect ratio (or aspect ratio) of the original data is small. When printing data of a so-called panoramic image having a large size in a print area of a standard photograph size, the area to be trimmed becomes large. In this embodiment, "standard trimming" is selected, and
By pressing the check box of “Automatically print panorama images in panorama” and checking the box, image data having an aspect ratio (or aspect ratio) larger than 1: 2 is determined to be a panoramic image. As shown in FIG. 9C, an image that is not a panoramic image can be subjected to the same trimming as in FIG. 9A, and a panoramic image can be printed without performing the same trimming as in FIG. 9B. The check box can be unchecked by pressing it again.

On the screen shown in FIG. 8 (r), it is possible to select whether or not to print the cutting guide. The cutting guide is printed outside the print area of the photographic image as shown in FIG. For example, the cutting guide is provided with a straight line having a length of 5 mm in the left-right direction from a position 1 mm left and right outside the print area at a position 1 mm inside from the vertical edge of the print area, and a vertical line from a position 1 mm vertically outside the print area. A straight line having a length of 5 mm in the direction is provided at a position 1 mm inward from the left-right edge of the print area. After printing, cut the paper along the cutting guide, the edges of the four sides of the print area 1mm
You can get a photo that is cut off by one and has no blank space. Therefore, it is particularly useful when printing on paper that is not provided with perforations corresponding to the print size of a photograph.

In addition, on the screen shown in FIG. 8 (r), it is possible to select whether or not to print the photograph number, photographing date and photographing time together with the photograph image.

In step S114, a processing selection screen as shown in FIG. 8 (s) is displayed, and printing of a photograph is started. On the screen shown in FIG. 8 (s), a photographic image being printed and a bar indicating the current progress from the start to the end of printing are displayed. The bar indicating the degree of progress is gradually filled from the left when printing is started, and when all of the bars are filled, printing of all the photos is completed. Upon completion of the printing, the process returns to the step S101.

In each process selection screen, an image indicating a recommended option, such as displaying "recommended" on any one of the selection buttons, can be displayed. As a result, even a person who operates the apparatus of the present embodiment for the first time does not know which option should be selected in the middle and does not interrupt the work, so that the photograph can be reliably printed.

In this embodiment, by pressing a plurality of predetermined positions on the screen within a predetermined time on the start screen shown in FIG. 3A in step S101, the system setting as shown in FIG. The screen 80 can be displayed (S115). For example, the system setting screen 80 can be displayed by continuously pressing the area near the four corners of the screen including the portion where the process selection button is not displayed within 5 seconds. Alternatively, the pressing order may be specified, such as pressing the four corners clockwise from the upper right corner of the screen.
