Image processing apparatus, image processing method, image processing program and recording medium

An image processing apparatus which creates and delivers an image file whose layer can be managed, comprising:

• a first image data acquisition unit which acquires first image data;
• a second image data acquisition unit which acquires second image data;
• a determination unit which determines whether the first image data and the second image data are stored in the same layer or the different layers, depending on a user who gave an instruction to create the image file;
• and
• an image file creation unit which creates the image file in which the first image data and the second image data are stored in the same layer or the different layers, based on a result of the determination of the determination unit.

An image processing method by which an image file whose layer can be managed is created and delivered, comprising:

• acquiring first image data;
• acquiring second image data;
• receiving a delivery destination of the created image file;
• determining whether the first image data and the second image data are stored in the same layer or the different layers, depending on the delivery destination received by the receiving unit;
• creating the image file in which the first image data and the second image data are stored in the same layer or the different layers, based on a result of the determination;
• and
• transmitting the image file to the delivery destination received by the receiving unit.
