Image processing apparatus capable of synthesizing form image with aggregate image, method of controlling the same, and storage medium

An image processing unit comprising:

• a reading unit configured to read an original to thereby create an original image;
• a storage unit configured to store the original image;
• a creation unit configured to create a print image by synthesizing the original image with a form image designated by a user;
• a print unit configured to print the print image created by said creation unit;
• and
• a decision unit configured, when a plurality of original images are aggregated on one page for printing, to decide based on a user's instruction whether to synthesize the form image with each of the plurality of original images or with the whole aggregate image formed by aggregating the plurality of original images on one page.

A method of controlling an image processing apparatus including a display unit and an operation unit, comprising:

• creating an aggregate image by aggregating a plurality of images on one page;
• synthesizing an aggregate image created by said creating and a form image;
• controlling the display unit to display an image synthesized by said synthesizing;
• determining whether an operation performed by an operator on the operation unit is a first operation for changing an image with which the form image is to be synthesized from an image as a current operation target by the operator to one of the plurality of images included in the aggregate image or the whole aggregate image, or a second operation for rotating the form image synthesized with the image as the current operation target by the operator;
• synthesizing, when it is determined by said determining that the operation performed by the operator is the first operation, the form image with the changed image after scaling the form image to the size of the changed image;
• synthesizing, when it is determined by said determining that the operation performed by the operator is the second operation, the form image with the image as the operation target by the operator after rotating the form image and scaling the form image to the size of the image as the operation target by the operator;
• and
• controlling the display unit to display an image synthesized by said synthesizing according to said determining.

A method of controlling an image processing unit, comprising:

• reading an original to thereby create an original image;
• storing the original image;
• creating a print image by synthesizing the original image with a form image designated by a user;
• printing the print image created by said creating;
• and
• deciding, when a plurality of original images are aggregated on one page for printing, based on a user's instruction whether to synthesize the form image with each of the plurality of original images or with the whole aggregate image formed by aggregating the plurality of original images on one page.
