Abstract
An image outputting apparatus of the present invention automatically lays out taken images so as to have composition without a sense of discomfort to an appreciator, based on direction components of the taken images. The apparatus includes an image direction component computing section that computes a direction component of an image, an image layout section that lays out the image in an output area based on the direction component computed from the image direction component computing section, and an image outputting section that outputs the image laid out in the output area by the image layout section.
