ABSTRACT:
A method and system for verifying and altering an area of an image to be photocopied prior to producing a copy. According to one embodiment of the present invention, an image capturing device is used to capture an image of items to be copied. A representation of this captured image is then displayed on a screen to be previewed by a user prior to producing a copy. A control unit of the present embodiment allows the user to alter the representation displayed on the display screen and to control the form and content of the copy produced. Alterations to the representation include, but are not limited to, elimination of certain portions (cropping), selection of certain portions for copying, rearranging by cutting and pasting, identifying areas to be copied in color, identifying areas to be copied as shaded and identifying areas to be copied in a different size. Further, the control unit will allow the user to edit the representation on the display screen. In this manner the user has full control over the representation on the display screen as well as visual confirmation of the material to be duplicated prior to producing a copy. One embodiment of the present invention includes any apparatus that captures an image and then reproduces this image in output using a display device, wherein this apparatus may include the capability for image modification.
