1. An image processing apparatus for outputting image data in accordance with requested output conditions, comprising:
- a storage unit that stores image data as a target of image processing;
a determination unit that, when outputting the image data stored in said storage unit, determines whether an output method included in the output conditions indicates print output or display output, and determines whether or not a layout of the image data stored in said storage unit is appropriate for the determined output method;
a conversion unit that, if said determination unit has determined that the layout of the image data stored in said storage unit is not appropriate for the determined output method, converts the image data into a layout appropriate for the determined output method; and
a transmission unit that transmits the image data converted by said conversion unit to an output device corresponding to the output method included in the output conditions.

Abstract
This invention provides an image processing apparatus which handles process target image data as data of various kinds of layouts without storing image data of each layout in a memory, a method of controlling the same, and a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program. To accomplish this, the image processing apparatus creates, from stored image data, output data complying with an output method. If the layout of the stored image data is not appropriate to the output method, the image processing apparatus executes a conversion process of the image data.

8. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus for outputting image data in accordance with requested output conditions, the apparatus including a storage unit that stores image data as a target of image processing, comprising:
-
when outputting the image data stored in the storage unit, determining whether an output method included in the output conditions indicates print output or display output, and determining whether or not a layout of the image data stored in the storage unit is appropriate for the determined output method; if it is determined in the determining that the layout of the image data stored in the storage unit is not appropriate for the determined output method, converting the image data into a layout appropriate for the determined output method; and transmitting the image data converted in the converting to an output device corresponding to the output method included in the output conditions. - View Dependent Claims (9)
