PURPOSE: To execute the image processing of a read image with a small storage capacity by dividing image information into partial images in a prescribed size and successively performing the designated image processing for each partial image. CONSTITUTION: Image information 1 is provided by an original image, etc., on which an image is described. An image reading part 2 reads the image information 1. At such a time, the image reading part 2 reads the image information according to the size designated by a reading size 5 and stores this information in a memory 3 for image as the partial images. An effective image processing part 6 performs the effective image processing designated by a processing content designating part 7 to the partial images stored in the memory 3 for image. In this case, as the effective image processing, there are masking, enlargement/reduction, mosaic, oil painting tone, optical filter tone, blur, sharpness, ripple, and eddy or the like. An image output part 4 successively outputs the partial images to which the effective image processing is executed.
