Abstract
An image data processing portion is configured to include a peripheral light amount correcting portion, a soft-finished image forming portion, a combining portion and an adding ratio setting portion. On the basis of fine scan data that has been subjected to various types of adjustments and corrections by the peripheral light amount correcting portion and the like, soft-finished image data is generated in the soft-finished image forming portion. In the adding ratio setting portion, an adding ratio for the time when fine scan data and soft-finished image data are combined with each other is set in accordance with desired soft-focus intensity. In the combining portion, fine scan data and soft-finished image data are combined with each other at the adding ratio that has been set. A soft-focus image based on image data for output, which has been thus processed and outputted, is outputted with the desired soft-focus intensity.
