IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF SYNTHESIZING FORM IMAGE WITH AGGREGATE IMAGE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus including a display unit and an operation unit, comprising:
- an aggregate image creation unit configured to create an aggregate image by aggregating a plurality of images on one page;
a first synthesis unit configured to synthesize the aggregate image created by said aggregate image creation unit and a form image;
a first display control unit configured to control said display unit to display a synthesized image synthesized by said first synthesis unit;
a determination unit configured to determine whether an operation performed by an operator on said operation unit is a first operation for changing an image with which the form image is to be synthesized from an image as a current operation target by the operator to one of the plurality of images included in the aggregate image or the whole aggregate image, or a second operation for rotating the form image synthesized with the image as the current operation target by the operator;
a second synthesis unit configured, when it is determined by said determination unit that the operation performed by the operator is the first operation, to synthesize the form image with the changed image after scaling the form image to the size of the changed image;
a third synthesis unit configured, when it is determined by said determination unit that the operation performed by the operator is the second operation, to synthesize the form image with the image as the operation target by the operator after rotating the form image and scaling the form image to the size of the image as the operation target by the operator; and
a second display control unit configured to control said display unit to display an image synthesized by said second synthesis unit or said third synthesis unit.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus capable of synthesizing a form image with an aggregate image created by aggregating images on one page. A CPU determines whether an operator performed on a touch panel a first operation for changing an image with which the form image is to be synthesized from an image as an operation target to one of the images of the aggregate image or the whole aggregate image, or a second operation for rotating the form image synthesized with the operation target image. When the first operation is performed, the CPU synthesizes the form image with the changed image after scaling the form image to the size of the changed image. When the second operation is performed, the CPU synthesizes the form image with the operation target image after rotating the form image and scaling the same to the size of the operation target image.
