Abstract
An apparatus includes a memory to store a program and a processor to execute the program stored in the memory. The processor selects randomly output target images from output target candidate images and generates a plurality of layout images, each of which is generated by laying out the selected output target image. A template includes at least one image layout area. The processor determines a layout image from the generated plurality of layout images, by evaluating the selected target images included in each of the generated plurality of layout images according to both of first information corresponding to a user's evaluations for each of the selected output target images and second information based on an output history of each of the selected output target images in accordance with user designations. The processor outputs the determined layout image.
