Abstract
A display control apparatus includes an acquiring unit, a first control unit, a selecting unit, a second control unit, a switching unit, and an arranging unit. The acquiring unit acquires an image group including pieces of image data. The first control unit displays a layout image in which images selected from the acquired image group are arranged in slots. The selecting unit selects a change target slot in which an image to be changed is arranged from the slots in the displayed layout image. The second control unit displays candidate images which are selected based on the image arranged in the change target slot. The switching unit switches the displayed candidate images to candidate images selected based on an image arranged in a slot different from the change target slot. The arranging unit arranges a candidate image selected from the displayed candidate images in the change target slot.
