Image processing apparatus and method for image processing relevant images

Abstract

An image processing apparatus is provided which includes a group automatically-registering unit or a group setting unit, and a grouping unit. At the time of taking photographs, the group automatically-registering unit groups images automatically, and then registers the stored address and group identifying information thereof in the group information list. At the time of taking photographs or reproducing images, the group setting unit groups images and/or images with the corresponding input data with aid of a user operation, and then registers the stored address and the size of images constituting the group or data, and the group identifying information thereon in a group information list. The grouping unit performs group-movement (insertion or deletion), change in reproducing order, transmission of recorded data, image print, display and the like in a group unit at the time of reproducing images.
