An object of this invention is to process image data in which a plurality of link destinations are set in one region. Another object of this invention is to allow the user intuitively to recognize the setup states of links, since link regions have different display patterns in correspondence with the numbers of link destinations upon displaying the link regions. If the designated link region has only one link destination, a dotted circle (for example) is displayed on the link region (S). If the designated link region has two link destinations, a solid circle (for example) is displayed (step S). If the designated link region has three or more link destinations, a double circle (for example) is displayed (step S). Again, if the designated link region has only one link destination, an image at the link destination is set as display data (S), while if the designated link region has a plurality of link destinations, all the link destinations may be displayed in a list (S). An image at a link destination selected by the operator from the list is set as display data (S).

Image processing apparatus, its control method, and storage medium

There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method which are capable of inserting in real time a desired image into a desired portion of a desired created frame image or a desired previously captured image to enable an operator to synthesize the images with a simple operation without using a personal computer, and a storage medium storing a program for executing the image processing method. An image of an object obtained by photographing the object is input in real time as digital object image data. Frame image data comprising characters and graphics is created. At least one area of the created frame image where the input object image data is to be inserted is designated. The created frame image data is displayed, and the input object image data is inserted into the designated area of the displayed frame image and the designated area with the input object image data inserted therein is displayed. The inserted and displayed object image data is established.
