designated through keyboard 48, and written to specified areas of frame memory (video
RAM) 25. The composite image is ultimately displayed on CRT 31, exposing
photographic paper 34. Col. 4, l. 25 - col. 5, l. 16.
Oshikoshi describes at column 5, line 28 et seq., and illustrates in Figure 2, the
manner of determining the data to be loaded into look-up table memory 20. Table data
50 and 51, for CG images and subject images, respectively, are written into memory 20
by means of an instruction entered through keyboard 48. The data which are to be
written into memory 20 -- selected from table data 50 and 51 -- are “previously
provided” in memory 49. See col. 5, ll. 35-38. The data for table memories 24a and
24b (for positive or negative film) are also previously provided -- i.e., the data are ROM-
based or retrieved from a diskette. See col. 6, ll. 8-14. The reference at column 6, line
22 et seq. describes, and illustrates in Figure 6, selectively retrieving data from memory
49 for loading look-up table memory 22 in color correction circuit 21, in a manner similar
to loading data for tables 20, 24a, and 24b.
Since the data in look-up table memory 20 (and tables 22, 24a, and 24b) for
correction of the images are predetermined -- i.e., determined prior to image capture --
we do not find automatic analysis of a design attribute of a customer generated digital
image to obtain an analyzed value of the design attribute, as required by step “e)” of
instant claim 1. Nor do we find any disclosure in the reference of automatically
adjusting the design attribute of the customer generated image, or the prestored digital
