The improved image synthesizing method of the invention which creats digital composite image data by synthesizing a background image and an image read from an original comprises: previously designating a position and a size of the read image which will be inserted into and synthesized with the background image on an output print; scanning and reading the original by a scanner in accordance with the designated size and converting the read image into read image data having the designated size and a resolution of the output print; and automatically synthesizing the converted read image data and the background image data synthesizing the read image having the designated size at the position designated on the background image. The method is capable of automatically reading an image of a user's original after the user's original is set to a scanner, automatically converting the read image into read image data having a designated size and a designated resolution and automatically synthesizing the image and background image data so that the read image of the user's original can be accurately and completely inserted into an image inserting region or an image frame of a background image.
