Abstract
An information processing method includes displaying a graphical user interface having a first region in which to arrange an object and a second region in which to display a list of an object that can be arranged in the first region, the first region being a region of a double-page album spread, the double-page spread region including a left page region and a right page region, and deriving a candidate region in which to arrange an object selected by a user in the first region, based on a state of arrangement of an object other than the selected object in the first region. The candidate region is displayed as a rectangular frame surrounded by a dashed line in the first region. In moving the selected object in the first region, the candidate region is switched and displayed based on a position of a cursor indicating the selected object.
