Abstract
In an image composing apparatus, a desired image, which is selected from first digital images having been stored previously, and a desired image, which is selected from second digital images having been newly acquired, are combined with each other, and a digital composed image of a desired design is thereby obtained. The apparatus comprises several pieces of design defining information for specifying a size of the digital composed image, the desired first digital image, a position on a coordinate system associated with the digital composed image, at which position the desired first digital image is to be located, the desired second digital image, and a position on the coordinate system, at which position the desired second digital image is to be located. A specifying device specifies a single piece of design defining information from several pieces of design defining information. An image composing device forms the digital composed image of the desired design in accordance with the design defining information, which is specified with the specifying device.
