The image processing method and apparatus read photoelectrically an original
image to obtain input image data and subject the input image data to image processing
to obtain output image data. The method and apparatus perform first conversion
for outputting an image file and second conversion for outputting a print as the
image processing on the input image data obtained by a single image reading operation
and output first image data for outputting the image file and second image data
for outputting the print. The method and apparatus make it possible to output both
of the photographic print and the image file, which have a good image quality,
by a simple operation and with a high operation efficiency.
