Abstract: An image retrieval apparatus capable of retrieving a desired image from images shot continuously in a short time. A display control unit displays the images on a display unit in order in a first or second transition direction according to a user's operation. A setting unit sets up a limit point in the first (second) transition direction when the direction in which the images are displayed in order is switched from the first (second) transition direction to the second (first) transition direction based on an image displayed at a time of switching. The display control unit stops displaying the images in order in the first (second) transition direction when a displayed image reaches an image corresponding to the limit point in the first (second) transition direction during the images are displayed in order in the first (second) transition direction.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus that is capable of efficiently acquiring a developed image obtained by developing a RAW file. A plurality of JPEG files are stored in a information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus inquires of an information management apparatus about apparatus information concerning a external apparatus holding a RAW file corresponding to a JPEG file selected on the information processing apparatus. Then, the information processing apparatus connects to the external apparatus according to the apparatus information received from the information management apparatus, and requests the external apparatus to perform processing for developing the RAW file corresponding to the selected JPEG file.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus comprises an image capturing unit configured to sequentially output one or more frames of image data of moving images and one or more frames of image data of still images as frames on a per-frame basis, each still image being shot between shootings of the moving images; and a control unit configured to control the image capturing unit to shoot the still images at a first shutter speed and shoot the moving images at a second shutter speed, the first shutter speed being higher than the second shutter speed.

Abstract: A camera designates a moving image as a print target, specifies a material image to be printed based on composition information which is associated with the moving image of the print target and which includes information for specifying a plurality of original images used for generating the moving image, and transmits the material image and the composition information to a server PC to instruct the server PC to perform printing. The server PC determines layout of a page of a printed matter to be obtained as a result of printing according to the composition information and generates print data by arranging the material image based on the layout of the page.

Abstract: The invention relates to an editing of a digital document containing an image, a text, a pattern and the like on pages constituting the digital document. In response to an operation for deleting an image positioned in a page, such image is not added to another page but is moved to and displayed in an evacuation area provided independently from the page area. In the evacuation area, such image is displayed together with a serial number of the page in which such image was present originally. Thus the page layout is not destructed in pages other than the page of image deletion, and the user can easily confirm later the image existed in such page.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of reducing time taken to retrieve a specific image including a specific object area from a plurality of images, even when an image is newly added or a face dictionary is updated. A CPU of the apparatus determines whether or not object search information indicating the image is a candidate image as a candidate of the specific image exists in management information. When the object search information does not exist, the CPU refers to an object dictionary in which feature value data of an objects are registered, and compares feature value data of an object detected from a image and the feature value data of the object dictionary to thereby retrieve candidate images. When the object search information exists, the CPU retrieves candidate images based on the object search information.

Abstract: An image layout apparatus includes a cropping unit, a displaying unit, a checking unit, first and second computing units, a noticing unit, and a preventing unit. The cropping unit crops an image file image. The displaying unit displays and arranges cropped images on a page. The checking unit checks whether first and second image files are same. The first computing unit computes, in response to the first image file and the second image file being the same, an overlapping area between a first displayed image and a second displayed image. The second computing unit computes overlapping size ratio of the computed overlapping area. The noticing unit notices, in response to the first image file and the second image file being the same, information regarding duplication of image files. The preventing unit prevents, in response to the computed overlapping size ratio being smaller than a predetermined value, noticing the information.
