Abstract
An image processing method in which a feature amount is analyzed for each of a plurality of images as layout target candidates. First and second image evaluations are performed for an image of the plurality of images, in accordance with first and second (different) evaluation criteria. A main image to be laid out on a main slot in a template is selected from the plurality of images based on the first image evaluation for each of the plurality of images. A sub image is selected to be laid out on a sub slot in the template, which is smaller than the main slot, based on the second image evaluation for each of the plurality of images. The main image is laid out on the main slot in the template, and the sub image is laid out on the sub slot in the template.
