Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method which are capable of inserting in real time a desired image into a desired portion of a desired created frame image or a desired previously captured image to enable an operator to synthesize the images with a simple operation without using a personal computer, and a storage medium storing a program for executing the image processing method. An image of an object obtained by photographing the object is input in real time as digital object image data. Frame image data comprising characters and graphics is created. At least one area of the created frame image where the input object image data is to be inserted is designated. The created frame image data is displayed, and the input object image data is inserted into the designated area of the displayed frame image and the designated area with the input object image data inserted therein is displayed. The inserted and displayed object image data is established.
