Abstract
To accomplish speedy handling of user's requests, when a user gives a print order to a photo-site, an original image, thumbnail image, and display image are copied in step S, and a URL to access the copied original image, thumbnail image, and display image from a print-site is written in a Work file in step S. This Work file is merged with an order file in step Sand sent to the print-site. Since the print-site executes print processing by using the copies, the user can perform processing such as deletion of image data and withdrawal from membership with respect to the photo-site immediately after the print order is placed.
