Image processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer of an image processing apparatus that generates a plurality of pieces of album data corresponding to a plurality of albums, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

• acquiring a plurality of pieces of image data;
• evaluating each of the plurality of pieces of image data based on a first factor;
• evaluating each of the plurality of pieces of image data based on a second factor different from the first factor;
• automatically selecting at least one piece of image data out of the plurality of pieces of image data as common image data corresponding to an image to be placed in a common page, which is a page common to all of the plurality of albums, based on an evaluation that is based on the first factor;
• generating common page data corresponding to the common page based on the at least one piece of image data selected as the common image data;
• automatically selecting at least one piece of image data out of the plurality of pieces of image data as individual image data corresponding to an image to be placed in an individual page, which is a page not common to all of the plurality of albums, based on an evaluation that is based on the second factor;
• generating a plurality of pieces of individual page data corresponding to the individual page based on the at least one piece of image data selected as the individual image data;
• and
• generating the plurality of pieces of album data based on the common page data and the plurality of pieces of individual page data,
• wherein the individual page data corresponding to first album data out of the plurality of pieces of album data and the individual page data corresponding to second album data out of the plurality of pieces of album data are different from each other, and
• wherein the common page data corresponding to the first album data out of the plurality of pieces of album data and the common page data corresponding to the second album data out of the plurality of pieces of album data are identical to each other.
