Abstract: The number of pixels of image data recorded in a recording medium is determined, and it is determined whether or not an image to be looked at will be of good quality according to the determined number of the pixels and the number of pixels required for an apparatus that will print or display the image. An image list on a print image selecting picture has frames of colors according to the determination result. The user can easily select image files with resolutions suitable for the print size even if the user does not have a special knowledge of a quality, pixels and a resolution of photo image data.
