Abstract

An image processor includes a storing unit, an image determining unit, and an output unit. The storing unit stores a selecting condition. The image determining unit determines whether the image corresponding to the set of the image data satisfies the selecting condition. The output unit outputs an image list including either one of the image that is determined to satisfy the selecting condition by the image determining unit and a resized image resized from the image that is determined to satisfy the selecting condition by the image determining unit.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a set of program instructions installed on and executed by a computer accessible to a storage unit storing a set of moving image data including a plurality of sets of frame image data corresponding to a plurality of frame images, the set of moving image data corresponding to a moving image, the program instructions comprising:

receiving a frame interval inputted by a user;

extracting sets of frame image data from among the plurality of sets of frame image data at the frame interval inputted by the user; and
