Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• a memory that stores a program;
• and
• a processor that executes the program to perform:
• obtaining a tilt-corrected document image by performing image analysis processing on a scan image to detect a document area and performing extraction and tilt correction of a document image based on the detected document area;
• determining whether the obtained tilt-corrected document image satisfies a predetermined condition;
• displaying, in a case where it is determined that the tilt-corrected document image satisfies the predetermined condition, a repeat target area specification screen so that the processor specifies a repeat target area for the tilt-corrected document image based on a user's instruction on the displayed repeat target area specification screen;
• calculating, in a case where it is determined that the tilt-corrected document image does not satisfy the predetermined condition, numbers of laid out images in repeatedly laying out an image corresponding to a repeat target area, that is set automatically based on the obtained tilt-corrected document image, for a respective plurality of candidate sheet sizes;
• and
• displaying a list screen showing the calculated numbers for the respective plurality of candidate sheet sizes.

An image processing method executed by an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• obtaining a tilt-corrected document image by performing image analysis processing on a scan image to detect a document area and performing tilt correction of a document image based on the detected document area;
• displaying a repeat target area specification screen for displaying the obtained tilt-corrected document image and a frame indicating a repeat target area, wherein the frame is initially displayed at a position of four sides aligned with the obtained tilt-corrected document image, and wherein the position of the frame can be changed based on a user's instruction on the repeat target area specification screen, and wherein the repeat target area is specified based on the position of the frame initially displayed or changed on the repeat target area specification screen;
• calculating numbers of laid out images in repeatedly laying out an image corresponding to the specified repeat target area for a respective plurality of candidate sheet sizes;
• displaying a list screen showing the calculated numbers for the respective plurality of candidate sheet sizes;
• generating a repeat layout-processed output image by repeatedly laying out the image corresponding to the specified repeat target area within a sheet size specified by the user from among the plurality of candidate sheet sizes displayed on the list screen;
• and
• executing print processing using the generated repeat layout-processed output image.
