ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus subjects image data photoelectrically read out by an image reading apparatus to predetermined image processings and outputs the read-out image data as image data to be recorded. The image processing apparatus includes a plurality of memories for storing image data read out by the image reading apparatus; an image processing unit for reading the image data from the memories and for carrying out the predetermined image processings by pipeline processing; a condition setting unit for setting image processing conditions in the image processing unit; an image data bus for inputting and outputting the image data; and a control bus for inputting and outputting control data. The image processing apparatus permits a scanner to continuously read images, and a printer to continuously record the images of an application requiring high speed output of finished prints (i.e., a digital photoprinter). Thus, finished prints can be effectively output at high speed.
