Abstract
Provided is an image processing apparatus and control method thereof that enable image data from which a plurality of images can be generated to be browsed efficiently. In the case where a first image switching operation has been made through an input unit, a display is switched to display an image generated from a different image file from an image file used to generate an image currently being displayed, and in the case where a second image switching operation has been made through the input unit, the display is switched to display a different image generated from an image file used to generate the image being displayed.
Claims17
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an input unit having one or more input devices through which a first image switching operation and a second image switching operation can be made;
- one or more processors that execute computer executable instructions to function as:
- a control unit configured to switch a displayed image in accordance with an image switching operation made through the input unit,
- wherein the control unit:
- switches an image being displayed to an image generated from an image file being different from an image file used to generate the image being displayed in a case where the first image switching operation has been made through the input unit;
- and
- switches the image currently being displayed to a different image generated from the image file used to generate the image being displayed in a case where the second image switching operation has been made through the input unit, and
- wherein;
- the different image is an image representing the same scene as the image being displayed but having a different area being in focus;
- and
- the different image is an image obtained by carrying out an adaptive process adding a bokeh effect on a pan-focus image.

An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an input unit having one or more input devices through which a first image switching operation and a second image switching operation can be made;
- one or more processors that execute computer executable instructions to function as:
- a control unit configured to switch a displayed image in accordance with an image switching operation made through the input unit,
- wherein the control unit:
- switches an image being displayed to an image generated from an image file being different from an image file used to generate the image being displayed in a case where the first image switching operation has been made through the input unit;
- and
- switches the image currently being displayed to a different image generated from the image file used to generate the image being displayed in a case where the second image switching operation has been made through the input unit, and
- wherein the different image is an image representing the same scene as the image being displayed but having a different area being in focus, and
- wherein the control unit treats the first image switching operation as having been made in the case where a plurality of the second image switching operations have been made through the input unit within a predetermined amount of time.

An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an input unit having one or more input devices through which a first image switching operation and a second image switching operation can be made;
- one or more processors that execute computer executable instructions to function as:
- a control unit configured to switch a displayed image in accordance with an image switching operation made through the input unit,
- wherein the control unit:
- switches an image being displayed to an image generated from an image file being different from an image file used to generate the image being displayed in a case where the first image switching operation has been made through the input unit;
- and
- switches the image currently being displayed to a different image generated from the image file used to generate the image being displayed in a case where the second image switching operation has been made through the input unit, and
- wherein:
- the different image is an image representing the same scene as the image being displayed but having a different area being in focus;
- the control unit switches the image being displayed in response to the second image switching operation in a case where the image being displayed is generated from an image file from which a plurality of images can be generated;
- and
- the control unit generates the different image based on information indicating a focus distance set in the image file used to generate the image being displayed in the case where the second image switching operation has been made through the input unit.

A control method of an image processing apparatus having an input unit, wherein the input unit having one or more input devices through which a first image switching operation and a second image switching operation can be made, the method comprising:
- switching an image being displayed to an image generated from an image file being different from an image file used to generate the image being displayed in a case where the first image switching operation has been made through the input unit;
- and
- switching the image currently being displayed to a different image generated from the image file used to generate the image being displayed in a case where the second image switching operation has been made through the input unit,
- wherein:
- the different image is an image representing the same scene as the image being displayed but having a different area being in focus;
- and
- the different image is an image obtained by carrying out an adaptive process adding a bokeh effect on a pan-focus image.
4 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in which is stored a program for causing a computer to function as at least a control unit of an image processing apparatus comprising:
- an input unit having one or more input devices through which a first image switching operation and a second image switching operation can be made;
- and
- a control unit configured to switch a displayed image in accordance with an image switching operation made through the input unit,
- wherein the control unit:
- switches an image being displayed to an image generated from an image file being different from an image file used to generate the image being displayed in a case where the first image switching operation has been made through the input unit;
- and
- switches the image currently being displayed to a different image generated from the image file used to generate the image being displayed in a case where the second image switching operation has been made through the input unit, and
- wherein:
- the different image is an image representing the same scene as the image being displayed but having a different area being in focus;
- and
- the different image is an image obtained by carrying out an adaptive process adding a bokeh effect on a pan-focus image.
