Abstract

Data for use in specifying an image to be registered and data indicative of processing contents to be executed are listed in list structure and registered in a "reference list to image storage unit" and a "reference list to processing-content storage unit," respectively. The aggregate area thus listed is subordinated to another aggregate area. When image processing and output are performed and produced, an aggregate area is designated and the processing contents are applied to the image registered in the aggregate area. Even a low-order aggregate area is processed in accordance with the listed contents of the high-order aggregate area.
