METHOD, DEVICE, AND SEAL PAPER UNIT FOR PRODUCING PHOTOGRAPHIC SEAL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, device, and a seal paper unit for producing photographic seals, capable of imaging by illumination with different strobe characteristics, reducing imaging intervals required for continuous imaging even when a strobe illuminator with a large quantity of light is used, and implementing imaging as scheduled and smoothly, thereby improving user satisfaction and increasing the sales of amusement facilities. SOLUTION: The method or device for producing photographic seals implements imaging processing which produces an image by illuminating one or more objects in a photographic space using an instantaneous illuminating means and imaging using an imaging means. It implements editing processing in which a user produces an edited image by editing a target image such as the photographed image and/or an image acquired by other means. Then it outputs a fixed image using an output means. It has a plurality of instantaneous illuminating means with different strobe characteristics and a switching means which switches the instantaneous illuminating means to be used.
