Image processing apparatus, method of controlling image processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program

A method of controlling an image processing apparatus for dividing an image region represented by image data into a plurality of subregions and sending sectional image data corresponding to the subregions to a printing apparatus, comprising:

• detecting a first object in an image represented by the image data;
• determining a position of the detected first object in the image region;
• and
• in accordance with the determined position of the first object in the image region, dividing the image region such that any of the subregions contains at least one second object region corresponding to at least one second object constituting the first object.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a controller of an image processing apparatus to execute a process, the image processing apparatus being configured to divide an image region represented by image data into a plurality of subregions and send sectional image data corresponding to the subregions to a printing apparatus, the process comprising:

• detecting a first object in an image represented by the image data;
• determining a position of the detected first object in the image region;
• and
• in accordance with the determined position of the first object in the image region, dividing the image region such that any of the subregions contains at least one second object region corresponding to at least one second object constituting the first object.
