An image processing apparatus for reading data from a file in which dynamic image data is stored, comprising:
- instructing means for instructing a timing for reading dynamic image data;
- first reading means for reading said dynamic image data from said file at a first timing which is arbitrarily selected by a user;
- and
- second reading means for reading said dynamic image data at predetermined timings prior to and later than the first timing of reading by said first reading means, in parallel with said first reading means, for viewing plural images that are read out in parallel but at different timings from each other, wherein first dynamic image data read by said first reading means and second dynamic image data read by said second reading means are displayed time-sequentially on a common display.
