Abstract
A user decides images to be laid out on one image. For each image showing presence of face among the decided images, a region decision means decides a display region including at least one face in the corresponding image, according to the number of faces therein and according to a distance between the faces in the case where the number of the faces is larger than 1. A layout image generation unit extracts the display regions from the respective images, and generates a layout image by laying out the extracted display regions on a background image.
