With this invention, upon scanning a print, since additional information
recorded together with that print is reproduced while displaying the
scanned image, a special effect that cannot normally be obtained from
still images can be obtained.A print on which image information and
additional information, different from the image information, are printed
is scanned by a scanner (209). An additional information demultiplexer
(210) demultiplexes that additional information, which is decoded by an
error correction decoder (211). After that, the image and the decoded
additional information (moving image or/and acoustic information) are
simultaneously reproduced in combination.
