  • Patent number: 10157182
    Abstract: A setting unit of an apparatus sets, for an image represented by an image file, an area to be displayed in an electronic photo album and stores information representing the set area. A laying out unit of the apparatus determines whether a slot of interest in the page of interest is a slot has a predetermined property. If the slot of interest has the predetermined property, the laying out unit locates, in the slot of interest, an image assigned to the slot of interest without using the stored information set by the setting unit. If the slot of interest does not have the predetermined property, the laying out unit locates, in the slot of interest, a partial image corresponding to the area represented by the information out of the image assigned to the slot of interest.

  • Patent number: 9681025
    Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires information in terms of a type of a device to be used. A storage unit stores a plurality of ICC profiles corresponding to respective devices. A generation unit generates a list of descriptions of usable ICC profiles. A determination unit determines whether the generated list includes a description of an ICC profile including the information unit in terms of the type of the device to be used. In a case where the determination made by the determination unit is affirmative, a change unit changes the description of determined ICC profile to a description including the information in terms of a device model name of the device to be used. A providing unit provides the list generated by the generation unit or the list changed by the change unit to a user.
