Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a reader for continuously and photoelectrically reading a plurality of original images and successively making the original images to digital image data. An image processor is further included for subjecting the digital image data to predetermined image processing to create display image data. A display then displays a plurality of the images of the display image data at the same time. An indicator allows selection of arbitrary images from the images displayed on the display and output of the selected arbitrary images as prints. Finally, a recording unit is included for receiving the output digital image data of the original images indicated by the indicator and outputting the output digital image data as the prints. With its arrangement, the image forming apparatus can simply and promptly carry out the job for selecting the necessary frames from one strip and realize high productivity at an excellent working efficiency.
