When an image frame and the kind of ID photograph to make are selected by operating
a console, a system controller discriminates a human subject of the image frame
from its background, and process image data of the image frame according to the
selected kind of ID photograph by deleting any other subject contained in the background
and changing the size and position of the human subject such that the human subject
is printed on an instant film in a size at a position designated for the selected
kind of ID photograph. In accordance with the image data processed by the system
controller, an LCD unit is driven to display an image containing the human subject
with a blanked background. The image displayed on the LCD unit is observed through
a monitoring screen. Upon a printing command, the image displayed on the LCD unit
is projected onto the instant film to print that image on the instant film.
