First Claim
1. An image file processing apparatus comprising:
- an imaging unit;
a first storage unit configured to store an image imaged by the imaging unit;
a first data creating unit configured to create at least main image data and sub-image data from the image stored in the first storage unit;
a second storage unit configured to store the at least main image data and sub-image data created by the first data creating unit as one file;
a management region setting unit configured to ensure management information of the sub-image data stored in the same file as the main image data in the second storage unit by a predetermined number and set the management information in a management region of the main image data; and
a first storage control unit configured to perform control so as to store the file based upon content set by the management region setting unit when the file is to be stored in the second storage unit.

17. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer provided in an image file processing apparatus to function as:
-
first storage means for storing an image into a first memory; first data creating means for creating at least main image data and sub-image data from the image stored by the first storage step; second storage means for storing the at least main image data and sub-image data created by the first data creating step as one file into a second memory; and management region setting means for ensuring management information of the sub-image data stored in the same file as the main image data by the second storage means by a predetermined number and setting the management information in a management region of the main image data, and first storage control means for performing control so as to store the file based upon content set by the management region setting means when the file is to be stored in the second storage means.
