Abstract: An album creating app obtains model templates forming a model album, candidate images to be used to create an album, and a candidate template usable as an alternative template to the model templates. For each model image included in each model template, the app selects a similar image being one of the candidate images which is more similar to the model image than the other candidate images. Then, in a case where a similarity between the model image in the model template for a processing target and the selected similar image is smaller than a predetermined threshold, the app determines which of the model template for the processing target and the candidate template is to be used as a template for processing of the processing target. Then, the app creates a layout by placing, on the template determined, an image similar to an image placed on the template determined.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a recording unit configured to form an ink image on a transfer body, a conveying unit configured to convey a recording medium, a transfer unit figured to transfer the ink image from the transfer body to the recording medium conveyed by the conveying unit, a reading unit configured to read the recording medium having the ink image transferred thereto, and a post-processing unit configured to apply a pressure to the recording medium having the ink image transferred thereto to perform post-processing for improving a gloss of the ink image on the recording medium. The post-processing unit applies a pressure to a recording medium not to be read by the reading unit, and applies to a recording medium to be read by the reading unit no pressure or a lower pressure than the pressure applied to the recording medium not to be read.
