Abstract: To generate a preferred image, at least two images may be captured. From the at least two images, a base image is selected to be edited and another image is selected as a source of image data used for editing the base image. A user selects an object of the base image to be replaced. The object on the base image is compared to the object on the another image to generate a region on the base image and the another image. The region on the base image is replaced with the region on the another image.
