9. An image processing device, comprising:
-
an image memory configured to store a plurality of image files; a receiving unit configured to receive a selection of one or more image files from among the plurality of image files stored in the image memory, and configured to receive a destination of image file transmission; a first determining unit configured to determine whether the received selection is a selection of one image file or a selection of multiple image files; a second determining unit configured to determine, when the received selection is determined to be a selection of multiple image files by the first determining unit, whether a request for combining the selected image files with each other is received; a file creation unit configured to create, when the request is determined as being received, a combined image file by combining the selected image files with each other; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the combined image file to the destination when the request is determined as being received by the second determining unit, configured to transmit individually the selected image files to the destination when the second determining unit determines that no request for combining the selected image files with each other is received, and configured to transmit the selected image file to the destination when the received selection is determined to be a selection of one image file by the first determining unit.
