Abstract

To obtain images including people who are not present at a photography scene with a portable terminal apparatus such as a cellular telephone with built in camera. A first processed image obtained by a first cellular telephone with built in camera is displayed on an LCD monitor, and a region thereof that includes a person is trimmed. A second processed image transmitted from a second cellular telephone with built in camera is displayed on the LCD monitor, and a region thereof that includes a person is trimmed. The trimmed first and second processed images are combined to obtain a synthesized image, which is displayed on the LCD monitor.
