Abstract
There is described an image processing apparatus which enables an additional image, such as a 'Confidential' mark, to be added to an original image only during the period when it is necessary to be outputted. The image processing apparatus includes an image signals obtaining section which obtains image signals corresponding to an image; an additional image setting section which sets an additional image with the image corresponding to the image signals; a day and time information setting section which sets a day and time information used for judging whether the image is outputted with or without an additional image in outputting the image based on the image signals; and a judgment section which judges whether date and time information meets date and time for output when the image is outputted based on the image signals.
