Digital camera

Abstract

A digital camera, which photographs a subject, generates image data, and records the image data on a recording medium, includes: an image processing device that performs a plurality of image processing to the recorded image data, in response to a user's operation; a history creating device that creates, for each image data, history information that indicates a history of image processing performed by the image processing device; and a display unit that displays the history information thus created.

1 . A digital camera, which photographs a subject, generates image data, and records the image data on a recording medium, comprising:
 an image processing device that performs a plurality of image processing to the recorded image data, in response to a user's operation;   a history creating device that creates, for each image data, history information that indicates a history of image processing performed by the image processing device; and   a display unit that displays the history information thus created.   
   
   
       2 . A digital camera according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the display unit displays the history information created with respect to the image data with an image based on the image data.   
   
   
       3 . A digital camera according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 the display unit displays the history information, superimposing upon the image based on the image data.   
   
   
       4 . A digital camera according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the history information is information that represents a content of image processing performed to the image data, and, in case a plurality of image processing were performed, sequence of the plurality of image processing.   
   
   
       5 . A digital camera, which photographs a subject, generates image data, and records the image data on a recording medium, comprising:
 an image processing device that performs image processing to the recorded image data, in response to a user's operation; and   a display unit that displays image based on the recorded image data and information related to the image on display, wherein:   when displaying the image, in case the image processing has been performed to the image data, information that is indicative of a content of the image processing is displayed, whereas in case the image processing has not been performed, other information or no information is displayed.   
   
   
       6 . A digital camera according to clam  5 , further comprising:
 a display switching device that switches to other information to be displayed or no information to be displayed, under a circumstance that the image based on the image data and the information being indicative of a content of the image processing are displayed on the display unit.   
   
   
       7 . A digital camera according to  claim 5 , wherein:
 the image processing device is capable of performing a plurality type of image processing, and the information being indicative of a content of the image processing is a history information that indicates a history of image processing.   
   
   
       8 . A digital camera, which photographs a subject and generates image data, comprising:
 an image processing device that performs a plurality of image processing to the image data, in response to a user's operation;   a history creating device that creates a history information that, for each image data, indicates a history of image processing performed by the image processing device; and   a display unit that displays the history information thus created.   
   
   
       9 . A digital camera according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 an image processing selection device that specifies image processing to be performed to the image data and its sequence to be performed prior to a photographing operation, wherein:   the image processing device performs image processing, following a content that is specified with the image processing selection device.   
   
   
       10 . A computer-readable computer program product containing a control program for image processing, the control program comprising:
 instructions for performing image processing to image data;   instructions for creating a history information that, for each image data, indicates a content of the image processing performed to the image data, and, in case of a plurality of image processing having been performed, its sequence; and   instructions for displaying the history information thus created.   
   
   
       11 . A computer-readable computer program product according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 the computer-readable computer program product is a recording medium on which the control program is recorded.   
   
   
       12 . A computer-readable computer program product according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 the computer-readable computer program product is a carrier wave in which the control program is embodied as a data signal.   
   
   
       13 . A method for image processing, comprising:
 performing image processing to image data;   creating, for each image data, a history information that indicates a content of the image processing performed to the image data, and, in case of a plurality of image processing having been performed, its sequence; and   displaying the history information thus created.
