ABSTRACT:
Before printing, the CPU 12 prescans image data stored in the working memory 14 to determine a location and an image type of each image portion in S3100. The CPU 12 creates image type data for all the image portions (partial images and their constituent image elements), and stores the image type data in the working memory 14. Image type data represent regions of the image portions, a hierarchical relationship between the respective image portions, and image types of the image portions. After manipulating the mouse input device to change a printing characteristic in S3500, the operator selects, in accordance with the hierarchical structure, an image type whose printing characteristic is desired to be changed in S3600. One or more image portions of the selected image type are displayed on an image layout screen. Image data for the displayed image portions is searched from the image type data. The operator selects and designates a printing characteristic desired to be set for the displayed image portions. As a result, in S3700, the operator's designated printing characteristic is set as a common characteristic onto image data of the displayed image portions.
