1. An apparatus for recording an image of interest, said apparatus comprising:
- an image-of-interest detecting device for detecting a prescribed image of interest from an original image represented by applied original image data;
an image-of-interest extracting device for extracting the image of interest detected by said image-of-interest detecting device;
a recording control device for recording image-of-interest data, which represents the image of interest extracted by said image-of-interest extracting device, on a first recording medium in association with the original image data,wherein the original image data is recorded in an original image data recording area of an original image file in which a thumbnail image data recording area and the original image data recording area have been defined;
and a thumbnail image-of-interest data generating device for generating thumbnail image-of-interest data representing a thumbnail image of the image of interest extracted by said image-of-interest extracting device,wherein said recording control device records the thumbnail image-of-interest data, which has been generated by said thumbnail image-of-interest data generating device, in the thumbnail image data recording area.

Abstract
The image of a face is cut from an image obtained by image sensing. Original image data is read from a memory card and the portion of the original image that is the image of the face is extracted by trimming. The image of the face is subjected to correction and other processing. Data representing the image of the face thus processed is recorded on the memory card. Thus, the original image and the image of the face are recorded on the memory card. The original image and the image of the face can be displayed by reproducing the data recorded on the memory card.
