Abstract
In conventional technique, a layout result is displayed on only one page, and a print result cannot be roughly observed by reduced display of all pages. For this reason, a specific image printed on a specific page cannot be overlooked, and a user must print the image while imaging an image result. When a user tries to change a layout method in the middle of a printing operation, the user must inconveniently restart the operation. In order to solve the problem, a printing apparatus for printing an image selected from images stored in a storage medium includes an image display unit for displaying the image in the storage medium as a list, a printing object selection unit for selecting an image to be printed with reference to the image display unit, a print medium selection unit for selecting medium on which the image is printed, and a print layout selection unit for selecting an arbitrary layout from layouts depending on the medium selected by the print medium selection unit.
