Abstract: A communication apparatus is provided for allowing any image contained in data exchanged between communication terminals such as mobile phones to be properly displayed in accordance with the capabilities of the receiving communication terminals. The communication apparatus can properly display an image according to the capabilities of a receiving communication terminal because the properties of the image are converted to suit the capabilities of the receiving communication terminal. When a plurality of images are combined or a modification is made to an image in communication terminals such as mobile phones and the resulting image or images are transmitted, the image properties of each image are converted to suit the capabilities of each receiving communication terminal before the combination or modification. Thus, any image can be properly displayed in accordance with the capabilities of the receiving communication terminal.
