Image processing device, method and program

Abstract

A marker corresponding to an editing state at an arbitrary point in time of image data being edited is stored in memory. The image of an arbitrary editing state can be displayed by a user selecting the displayed marker. The original image data is not updated. When saving the image data file, the saved editing state at an arbitrary point of time can be saved as a single file together with the original image data. By selecting a plurality of markers, images corresponding to a plurality of processing states can be displayed simultaneously. A marker can be used to create a new image data file of a desired processing state, or a plurality of markers can be selected to create a plurality of new image data files. Image data can be displayed as thumbnail images, and thumbnail images and ordinary images can be concurrently displayed.

1 . An image processing device, comprising:
 original image data storage means for saving original image data;   operational input acquisition means for acquiring operational inputs of a user;   command and parameter storage means for temporarily saving at least one command and associated parameter for editing the original image data acquired through the operational input acquisition means;   editing means for editing the original image data to create edited image data based on the at least one command and associated parameter acquired through the operational input acquisition means;   marker storage means for saving at least one of the commands and associated parameters temporarily saved in the command and parameter storage means as marker data for showing the editing state at a prescribed timing when an operational input commanding the storage of the current editing state is acquired through the operational input acquisition means; and   file storage control means for creating and saving a single image data file containing the original image data saved with the original image data storage means and the marker data saved with the marker storage means.
