Abstract

A document editing system edits a document which includes image data. A processing script for editing the image data is either selective or nonselective. If the processing script is nonselective, image editing is automatically performed without user intervention. If the processing script is selective, a user selects a preferred image while observing a certain number of automatically edited images obtained as a result of processing. The processing script assigns a template for providing a minimum user interface, which is selectively displayed for image editing in accordance with the processing script. Thus, a user who is unfamiliar with image editing can easily perform such editing.
