Abstract
An image sensing apparatus, such as a digital camera, directly communicates with a printer so that a printer with a photo-direct printing function normally prints a file containing raw and encoded image data. When the digital camera side selects a file containing raw and JPEG images, and the printer has a raw image printing function, the selected image file is directly output. When the file containing the raw and JPEG images is selected, and the printer does not have the raw image printing function, it is decided whether the size of the selected image file exceeds the upper limit size acceptable to the printer. If the file size exceeds the upper limit size, the raw image data is removed to reduce the file size, and the obtained data is transmitted to the printer. When an upper limit is not set, the selected image file is directly transmitted.
