Abstract
It is an objective of the present invention to make it possible to reproduce the coloration and brightness of the original picture image with good accuracy. In a method step the picture image input region is designated following instructions from the user, and then the area of the picture image input region which is designated is computed following a program stored in a Read-Only-Memory. Furthermore, in another step, the resolution is computed such that the pixels input in the designated area are greater in number than the minimum number of pixels stipulated beforehand.
