Abstract: At the time of switching an image to be displayed from a first image to a second image with different number of recording pixels with the display scale fixed, display is controlled such that of a partial range displayed in a display region of the image, a relative position of a point farthest from the center of the first image, as to the first image, and of a partial range displayed in a display region of the second image, the relative position of a point corresponding to the farthest point in the first image, as to the second image, are equal. Corresponding ranges between images before and after switching therebetween can be displayed with the display scale fixed, such that the probability of the displayed region extending outside of the entire image is reduced and comparison of images is facilitated.

Abstract: The attribution information of a plurality of pieces of image data photographed by a plurality of photographing apparatus is obtained. The image data is classified into a predetermined time period on the basis of a photographing date and time obtained from the attribution information. The number of the photographing apparatus photographing the image data classified every predetermined time period is discriminated, and the image data classified into the time period in which the number of the pieces of image data is larger than a threshold value is extracted. The extracted image data is discriminated from the other image data to be displayed. Thereby, even if a plurality of pieces of still image data and moving image data photographed by a plurality of digital cameras and video cameras exists, a candidate of the image data relatively significant among them can be extracted easily.
