Abstract
A template is combined with an image in a well-balanced manner. Order information including the name of a user's photograph and a template used for image composition is read from a recording medium. Image processing means reads template data and accompanying information representing an impression of the template by using a sensation expression, based on the order information. The image processing means obtains processed image data by carrying out image processing according to the sensation expression on image data based on the accompanying information. Composition means composes the template data with the processed image data, and obtains composite image data. Output means prints the composite image data.
