Abstract
A method of copying a photograph by using a copier. In the method, from a photograph original having white borders at four peripheral portions thereof, a photographic print is formed in which the borders are eliminated. Magnification setting processing is effected in which magnification is set from a transverse dimension of each white border and an image dimension, and the photograph original is enlarged. Thereafter, reference position shifting processing is effected in which a reference position, which is a reference during copying processing, is shifted by an amount corresponding to the transverse dimension P of a white border at one side of the photograph original which one side abuts a member provided at a position corresponding to one side of a platen glass. In the magnification setting processing, three white borders, other than the white border at the one side of the photograph original which one side abuts the member, are eliminated. In the reference position shifting processing, only the white border at the one side of the photograph original which one side abuts the member is eliminated. Therefore, all of the white borders provided at the four peripheral portions of the p…
