Display and control of permitted data processing based on control information extracted from the data
First Claim
1. An image editing apparatus arranged to execute a plurality of kinds of editing operations on image data corresponding to an image, comprising:
- an editing unit configured to perform each kind of editing operation on the image data in accordance with control information that is added to the image data to permit or inhibit execution of each kind of editing operation on the image data;
a selection unit configured to select the image as the image data to be edited by said editing unit from a plurality of images displayed together on a screen;
a display unit configured to display items, of each kind of editing operation of the selected image on the screen in accordance with the control information added thereto in a manner that allows discrimination of whether execution of the editing operation on the selected image is permitted or inhibited; and
a warning unit configured to display a warning panel of an image other than the selected image, independently of the items displayed by said display unit on the screen, if the execution of a permitted kind of editing operation on the image data of the selected image brings about the execution of an inhibited kind of editing operation on the image data of the image other than the selected image,wherein the inhibited kind of editing operation on the image data of the image other than the selected image is an editing operation of “
overlap”
which is the permitted kind of editing operation with respect to the selected image, so that said display unit displays the item of the editing operation of “
overlap”
so as to indicate that execution of the editing operation of “
overlap”
is permitted.
