Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, detailed setting of conditions for performance effects that match the temperament and preferences of each user as the subject will increase the time required for photography, which will cause a decrease in utilization efficiency when the device is used by the public.
In addition, for those who are not used to operation, because it is not clear what conditions to set to obtain an image that meets their preferences, it sometimes takes time to set and operate.
For an individual user or a group composed of multiple users, a photo sticker maker that permits multiple photography is also known for one use, but the above-mentioned tendency becomes particularly remarkable in such a device

Embodiment approach

[0173] It is a photo printing device that includes an imaging unit and a display unit, takes in images of subjects photographed by the imaging unit, edits and prints them, and includes:

[0174] an overlay processing unit that performs overlay processing for generating an overlay image of a subject, and

[0175] A unit for generating a printed image from superimposed photographic images,

[0176] Overlap photography processing unit contains:

[0177] A unit that uses the extracted color as the background, uses the image of the subject being photographed by the photography unit as the current image, and generates in real time the current extracted image in which the background part is extracted from the current image,

[0178] A unit that stores the currently extracted image at the given timing as the previously captured image in the storage unit,

[0179] means for receiving a context instruction input for indicating a context relationship between a currently extracted image...

Abstract

To provide a photographic printing device which guarantees the efficiency of using the device and then provides a photographic image suiting user's taste. The photographic printing device for editing and printing photographic acquired images generated by repeating photographic processing until attaining given photographic processing limit time includes: a finish control means which counts remaining time by decrementing the photographic processing limit time and controls so that the photographic processing may be finished when the remaining time satisfies a finish condition; and a means which counts photographic acquired images or the number of performing times of photographic processing. The finish control means determines whether or not the generated photographic acquired images or the number of performing times of photographic processing and the remaining time satisfy a predetermined relief condition. When they satisfy the condition, the finish control means resets the remaining time and determines the finish of photography based on the reset remaining time thereafter.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese patent application submitted on October 27, 2006 with application number 200610137464.2 and title of invention "Program, Information Storage Medium, Photo Printing Device, and Photo Printing Method". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a photo printing device and a photo printing method. Background technique [0003] A photo seal maker (an example of a photo printing device) that edits and prints an image of a user subject photographed by a photographing unit such as a CCD camera is known. [0004] In the photo sticker maker, an image of a subject is edited, and a sticker photo with a high degree of freedom different from a normal photo can be created and enjoyed. [0005] As this field, there are prior art disclosed in JP-A-10-308911 and JP-A-2005-12541. [0006] The aforementioned document discloses an editing process in which only a person is cut out from an image captured first, red...
