Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and recording medium

Abstract

There are provided an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, a program, and a recording medium capable of seamlessly restarting editing of a layout even in a case where a device is changed from a terminal device of a user having an image group to a terminal device of the user riot having the image group. In the image processing apparatus, the image processing method, the program, and the recording medium, a combination image of which a layout is created is displayed on a first terminal device, candidate images available for the combination image in a case where editing of the layout is restarted on a second terminal device are selected from an image group based on a predetermined reference while the layout is being edited on the first terminal device, the candidate images being some images other than use images being in use for the combination image, and the use images, the candidate images, and an additional image which is newly added to the combination image from the image group other than the use images by editing the layout on the first terminal device, which are transmitted from the first terminal device and received by a server are stored in the server.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and a recording medium for automatically creating a composite image layout from an image group. Background technique [0002] In the case of creating composite image layouts such as albums (photobooks), hardcover albums, and random prints, the user selects a plurality of images to be used in the composite image from a large number of images included in the user image group, and it is necessary to arrange the selected images neatly. For beginners, this editing operation becomes a heavy burden. [0003] In view of this, there is provided an application program that, like an order application program (order software) for compositing images running on a user's terminal device such as a PC (Personal Computer), a tablet computer, or a smartphone, collects images from the user's image group. automatically selects multiple images to be used in the composite image, and aut...
