Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To designate an output size of a television picture designated of trimming easily and accurately by calculating a required picture element increase/ decrease rate based on a designated output size, a recording density of a film or a printed matter, a picture element number in a trimming area, increasing/ decreasing a picture element in the trimming area in response to the picture element increase/decrease rate and supplying the result to an output means. CONSTITUTION:When an output size on a film or a printed matter is designated from an output size input means 19, an arithmetic means 18 calculates the required picture element increase/decrease rate based on an output size, a recording density on the film or printed matter and a picture element number in the trimming area. The arithmetic means 18 applies interpolation processing or reduction processing in response to the calculated picture element increase/ decrease rate to each picture element in the trimming area among a television picture signal stored in a picture storage means 14. Then the picture signal in the trimming area subject to the picture processing as above is supplied to an output means 26 to generate a hard copy with a designated size. Thus, the designation of the output size of the television picture whose trimming area is designated is applied easily and accurately.
