Abstract
The method adjusts an output image area for producing an output image from a recorded area of an original image within the recorded area of the original image so as to produce output image data that complies with a predetermined output image size. The method extracts the recorded area of the original image, extracts at least one region of a principal subject, a finger image and a fog region from the extracted recorded area of the original image to obtain an extracted region. The method adjusts the output image area automatically in accordance with the extracted region and obtains output image data from the image data in the adjusted output image area. Alternatively, the method issues information for urging an adjustment of the output image area when it is determined as a result of the extracted region that the adjustment of the output image area is necessary.
