A user designates a two-sided copying mode, a reduced-scale copying mode, a vertical or horizontal binding direction, and the like from a control panel. An original image is magnification-varied at a designated reduction magnification, and the reduced image is stored in a page memory. In the case of an odd page (front surface) in a single-sided or two-sided copying mode, a &ggr; conversion circuit reads out and outputs stored image data in the normal order, thus forming images. On the other hand, in the case of an even page (back page) in the two-sided copying mode, whether the horizontal or vertical binding direction is designated is checked. If the binding direction agrees with the reversing axis direction of a paper sheet upon copying, images are read out in the normal order. When the vertical binding direction is designated, images are read out in an order opposite to the normal order, so that each page is rotated through 180°. Images are copied in the designated layout.

A display apparatus is configured to control a clock generator so that a phase of a clock can maximize an integrated evaluation value that is an integrated value of a differential absolute value between adjacent pixels in an image display unit over one frame of a plurality of digital video signals corresponding to a plurality of clocks having different phases generated by the clock generator when a value made by dividing a maximum value of the integrated evaluation value by a minimum value of the integrated evaluation value is larger than a threshold, and to control the clock generator so that the phase of the clock can correspond to an intermediate position in a phase range in which the position becomes constant relative to the phase of the clock when the value made by dividing the maximum value by the minimum value is equal to or smaller than the threshold.

In order to produce a high-quality output of an image which is a mixture of images having different characteristics, there is provided an image processing apparatus having an image memory storing an entered color image and a feature detector, arranged for detecting a feature signal from the entered color image and storing the feature signal in the image memory. The feature signal represents a feature of the entered color image. An outputter is arranged for reading an image signal of the entered color image and the feature signal thereof out of the image memory, and outputting the image and feature signals as a recording signal. Processors are arranged for respectively processing one of a number of color components, which represent color image information, in accordance with the recording signal. The detection and storage in the image memory of feature signals and the readout of the image signal and associated feature signal from the image memory are performed in parallel.

A PDL interpreter rasterizes image data, which are described in page description language, entered from a host computer, and stores the rasterized image data in an image memory. A CPU discriminates the type of image, pixel by pixel, by referring to the image data stored in the image memory, and stores a discrimination code, which indicates the result of discrimination, in a code memory. The CPU reads out image data that have been stored in the image memory and reads the discrimination code corresponding to these image data out of the code memory. The image data read out of the image memory are subjected to different binarizing processing by two binarizing circuits. Depending upon the discrimination code read out of the code memory, a selector selects the output of one of the two binarizing circuits and sends the selected image data to a printer. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain a high-quality image which is a mixture of images having different characteristics, such as an image containing character or line drawings, continuous grayscale images, etc.

A color image processing apparatus which judges a saturation of an input color image, and performs image processing in accordance with the saturation judgement result, includes an image input means in which a plurality of line sensors for generating color component signals on the basis of different spectral characteristics are parallelly arranged, and means for judging an achromatic area of the color component signals input by the image input means in accordance with a predetermined method. This arrangement performs saturation judgement when a printing operation using only black is performed for a black character or when it is judged whether an original document is a monochrome or color original document.
