ABSTRACT:
The image retrieving method causes image processing information concerning image processing performed on an image to be output as a processed image and data for retrieval for the image to correspond to each other and registers them in the database in advance for each of images in an order corresponding to that of arrangement of frames of a film, and further registers the data for retrieval even for unprocessed images in the database in the order. The method, upon reprocessing, reads from the film a plurality of images including an image to be reprocessed, calculates data for retrieval for the plurality of images thus input, and retrieves the image processing information for the image to be reprocessed from the database using the data for retrieval for the image to be reprocessed and for an image in at least one of frames adjacent to the image to be reprocessed on the film.
