Abstract
The image processing method sets an image processing condition of an image using either image data of an image clipping area corresponding to the image or extended image data which is image data of an extended image area that is wider than the image clipping area in a direction in which a plurality of images is continuously recorded; represents an image obtained by processing the extended image data in accordance with the image processing condition and the image clipping area or only an image within the image clipping area obtained by processing said extended image data in accordance with said image processing condition; judges whether the represented image clipping area is appropriate or not; and modifies the image clipping area in accordance with a result of the judging. Even when a frame clipping error occurs in a photoprinter, the method can consistently output an appropriate image preventing decrease of work or production efficiency or keeping it to a minimum.
