Abstract

A picture image input/output system which can obviate defects encountered in prior art systems is arranged such that plural original color pictures are enlarged or reduced at a predetermined magnification ratio respectively by a picture image scanning device and color separated to obtain color separation signals; such color separation signals are processed for appropriate color correction, sharpness enhancement and gradation conversion, and lay-out picture images are sequentially outputted on a recording material using lay-out instructions and information.
