An information processing apparatus detects a printing-target fingernail area from a first captured image, creates print data for performing printing in the detected fingernail area, and detects a printing-target fingernail area from a second captured image before transmitting the print data to a printer. The print data is corrected based on a difference between the first and second detection results. In addition, a change in position, gradient, and shape of a fingernail based on the first detection results and the second detection results is detected, and it is determined whether one of an amount of change in position, an amount of change in gradient, and an amount of change in shape of a fingernail is larger than or equal to a predetermined threshold value.
