displaying an image captured by the imaging portion and including an object on a display, points being set at four corners of the object, the points being displayed together with the object, and the points at the four corners being operated by a user; performing processing to cut out an image from the obtained image using the operated points at the four corners and brightness correction to increase brightness of shadow of the obtained image; performing, based on a reception of a user operation in a state in which the cutout image on which the brightness correction has been performed is displayed on the display, a further brightness correction to further increase brightness of the cutout image; and previewing the image on which the further brightness correction has been performed for printing. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing method according to claim 1, wherein the imaging portion is a camera. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information processing method according to claim 1, further comprising displaying the image captured by the imaging portion on the display, wherein shape correction is performed on an image in an area designated via a cropping frame displayed in the displayed image. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The information processing method according to claim 3, wherein the shape correction is performed and the brightness correction for increasing the brightness of the shadow of the cutout image is then performed. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The information processing method according to claim 3, wherein the shape correction is a keystone correction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The information processing method according to claim 5, wherein the keystone correction is a process for performing geometric correction on the cutout image. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The information processing method according to claim 1, wherein the cutout image is an image corresponding to a document included in the obtained image. ### Claim 8 (depends on 3) The information processing method according to claim 3, further comprising, in a state in which the image captured by the imaging portion is displayed on the display, receiving a setting for an aspect ratio of the obtained image on which the shape correction has been performed. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The information processing method according to claim 8, wherein the aspect ratio is A4. ### Claim 10 (depends on 3) The information processing method according to claim 3, further comprising, in a state in which the image on which the shape correction and the brightness correction have been performed is displayed on the display, displaying a name corresponding to a name of the brightness correction. ### Claim 11 (depends on 3) The information processing method according to claim 3, further comprising, in a state in which the image on which the shape correction and the brightness correction have been performed is displayed on the display, displaying a saving button which is to be used for saving the image on which the shape correction and the brightness correction have been performed. ### Claim 12 An information processing apparatus comprising: one or more memory devices that store a set of instructions; and one or more processors that execute the set of instructions to: obtain an image captured by an imaging portion; display an image captured by the imaging portion and including an object on a display, points being set at four corners of the object, the points being displayed together with the object, and the points at the four corners being operated by a user; perform processing to cut out an image from the obtained image using the operated points at the four corners and brightness correction to increase brightness of shadow of the obtained image; perform, based on a reception of a user operation in a state in which the cutout image on which the brightness correction has been performed is displayed on the display, a further brightness correction to further increase brightness of the cutout image, and preview the image on which the further brightness correction has been performed for printing. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The information processing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the one or more processors further execute the set of instructions to display the image captured by the imaging portion on the display; and transform a cropping frame by using each of points at four corners of the cropping frame in the displayed image. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The information processing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the one or more processors further execute the set of instructions to display the image captured by the imaging portion on the display, wherein shape correction is performed on an image in an area designated via a cropping frame displayed in the displayed image. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The information processing apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the shape correction is performed and the brightness correction for increasing the brightness of the shadow of the cutout image is then performed. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The information processing apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the shape correction is a keystone correction. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The information processing apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the one or more processors further execute the set of instructions to, in a state in which the image captured by the imaging portion is displayed on the display, receive a setting for an aspect ratio of the obtained image on which the shape correction has been performed. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The information processing apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the one or more processors further execute the set of instructions to, in a state in which the image on which the shape correction and the brightness correction have been performed is displayed on the display, display a saving button which is to be used for saving the image on which the shape correction and the brightness correction have been performed. ### Claim 19 A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium containing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: obtaining an image captured by an imaging portion; displaying an image captured by the imaging portion and including an object on a display, points being set at four corners of the object, the points being displayed together with the object, and the points at the four corners being operated by a user; performing processing to cut out an image from the obtained image using the operated points at the four corners and brightness correction to increase brightness of shadow of the obtained image; and performing, based on a reception of a user operation in a state in which the cutout image on which the brightness correction has been performed is displayed on the display, a further brightness correction to further increase brightness of the cutout image, and previewing the image on which the further brightness correction has been performed for printing. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The information processing method according to claim 1, wherein the points at the four corners of the object are displayed together with the object, based on a reception of a user operation in a state in which the cutout image on which the brightness correction has been performed is displayed on the display.
