An object of the present disclosure is to maintain unity of a plurality of albums in a case where editing of a common double-page spread is performed in one person's album. A program is provided which causes a computer to function as an editing unit configured to edit a plurality of albums. Attributes of double-page spreads in the plurality of albums include an attribute of a common double-page spread common to all of the albums and an attribute of an individual double-page spread in each of the albums. The editing unit applies a content of a result of editing performed on a common double-page spread in a predetermined album among the plurality of albums to the album other than the predetermined album.

Storage medium, image processing apparatus, and image processing method

An image processing apparatus includes: a first obtaining unit configured to obtain an original image; a second obtaining unit configured to obtain region information indicating first and second regions, the first region read in reading of a print original to have a higher density than the second region, the second region read in the reading to have a lower density than the first region; an embedding unit configured to embed information in the original image by embedding a pattern with a directivity in the first region and embed, in the second region, a pattern in which the number of pixels printed adjacent to printed pixels is smaller than that in the first region; and a control unit configured to perform control of outputting the print original by using a print image in which the patterns of the first and second regions are embedded by the embedding unit.

Image processing apparatus and image processing method that embeds information using a pattern with directivity and a pattern without directivity

To, in a case where editing of a common double-page spread is performed on one user's album, selectively apply the contents of that editing result on a per user basis, a program is provided which causes a computer to function as: an editing unit configured to edit layouts of albums each having an attribute of a common double-page spread common to all albums and an attribute of an individual double-page spread in each album; a first determination unit configured to determine whether an edited double-page spread in a predetermined album on which editing is performed is a common double-page spread; and a second determination unit configured to determine, for each album other than the predetermined album, whether to apply a content of a result of the editing of the predetermined album to the album in a case where a result of the determination by the first determination unit is positive.

An image processing apparatus includes: an obtaining unit configured to obtain album information forming an album; a display control unit configured to display an editing screen for editing the album on a display based on the album information; and a recommendation unit configured to make a removal recommendation in the editing screen based on the album information, the removal recommendation being a recommendation to remove an image from an image group used in the album.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

An object of the present disclosure is to, in a case of adding a double-page spread in editing of a plurality of albums, determine a criterion for creating the double-page spread to be added to automatically create and add the double-page spread. A program is provided which causes a computer to function as an editing unit configured to edit layouts of a plurality of albums each having an attribute of a common double-page spread common to all of the albums and an attribute of an individual double-page spread in each of the albums as double-page spread attributes. The editing unit automatically creates a double-page spread based on one or more criteria corresponding to the attributes, and adds the created double-page spread to one album among the plurality of album.

A control method for an image processing apparatus that generates a plurality of pieces of album data including a common page, which is a page common to all of the plurality of pieces of album data, and an individual page, which is a page not common to all of the plurality of pieces of album data, includes performing control in such a manner that cover image data corresponding to an image to be placed in a cover of each album is selected as individual image data or common image data.

Image processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus executes, for image data to be printed by a printing device, image processing corresponding to a content of the image data; transmits, to the printing device, image data obtained after executing the image processing; acquires, before executing the image processing, a first transfer rate with respect to the printing device and a requested transfer rate required by a print operation of a print unit of the printing device; attempts image processing for the image data; and acquires, based on the first transfer rate and information of image data obtained after the attempt, a second transfer rate required by transmission, to the printing device, of the image data obtained after the attempt and the print operation of the print unit.

Information processing apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program

An image processing apparatus includes a setting unit configured to set a target region, a first acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of texture data for applying a metal representation on an image, a second acquisition unit configured to acquire an output condition when outputting the target region, a selection unit configured to select texture data based on the output condition, and an application unit configured to apply, to the target region, the texture data selected by the selection unit.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An album creating app obtains album data on a model album serving as an example, a candidate image group used to create an album, and analysis information on a model image in the model album and on each of the candidate image group. The album creating app has a similar image selecting unit that selects a similar image similar to the model image from the candidate image group based on the analysis information, a spread layout creating unit that creates a layout according to a template in the album data by placing the similar image in the slot where the model image corresponding to the similar image is placed, a layout evaluating unit that evaluates the layout created, and a processing changing unit that changes, based on the evaluation result, the type of editing performed on the similar image to place the similar image into the slot.

An object of the present disclosure is to create an album layout in accordance with the actual time-series in a case the time-series of the images used in the model album and the time-series of the candidate images used in the album to be created are different. One embodiment of the present invention is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of candidate image; and a selection unit configured to select, based on analysis results of each of a plurality of model images used in a model album and analysis results of each of the candidate images, similar images each of which has a degree of similarity to any one of the model images higher than a predetermined value, from among the plurality of candidate images.

Storage medium, image processing method, and image processing apparatus

An image processing apparatus includes a first obtaining unit configured to obtain an original image, a second obtaining unit configured to obtain a first multiplexed image created by embedding first information in the original image by a first method in which a shape of a pattern is changed, a third obtaining unit configured to obtain a second multiplexed image created by embedding second information in the first multiplexed image by a second method in which a density of a pattern is changed, the second information being a different type of information from the first information, and a control unit configured to perform control of outputting print data for a print original by using the second multiplexed image.
