A printed matter processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires image data of an environment in which a printed matter is set, a display unit, and a processor configured to, by executing a program, input the image data acquired by the acquisition unit, display how the printed matter is seen in a case where the printed matter is set in the environment on the display unit, by a composited image in which the printed matter is composited in the image data in accordance with a printing condition of the printed matter, and decide the printing condition of the printed matter by changing and displaying the printing condition of the printed matter in accordance with a user operation, and output the printing condition of the printed matter without outputting the image data.

The present invention provides an image processing apparatus to execute a specifying step for specifying a change target for a common page contained in album data for a first subject containing the common page and an individual page for the first subject based at least on parameters related to the first subject, and specifying a change target for the common page contained in album data for a second subject containing the common page and an individual page for the second subject based at least on parameters related to the second subject.

Provided is a method of controlling an image processing apparatus capable of controlling album data for a first subject containing a common page and an individual page for the first subject, and album data for a second subject containing the common page and an individual page for the second subject. The method includes specifying a change target for a page contained in the album data for the first subject.

An image processing apparatus includes: an obtaining unit configured to obtain album information forming a plurality of albums; and an editing unit configured to, in a case of receiving an instruction to add a double-page spread to a predetermined album among the plurality of albums, add a double-page spread also to an album other than the predetermined album among the plurality of albums.

The present disclosure relates to system(s) and method(s) for generating an automatic virtual photo album. The system receives a signal. The signal is configured to enable a rear camera and a front camera of a device to click a set of images. The set of images comprise a subset of front images and a subset of rear images. The subset of front images is further analysed. Based on the analysis, the system extracts a photographer mood. The system further links the photographer mood with the subset of rear images. Upon the linking, the system generates an automatic photo album.

A position in a second page spread corresponding to a position in which an object is placed in a first page spread is used as a paste candidate position, and whether the paste candidate position is in a placement possible area is determined. In a case where the paste candidate position is determined as being in the placement possible area, the object is pasted in the paste candidate position, and in a case where the paste candidate position is determined as not being in the placement possible area, the object is pasted in a position different from the paste candidate position in the second page spread.

The present application discloses a method. for creating an album in real-time by an application, once selecting the titled album; entering camera mode in the application. Text function bar shown within camera mode; ability to contribute personalized text entry while in camera mode before and after captured if needed; capturing the at least one media. Photo, video or text entry, via the application; showing the at least one media with text entries by the application; and automatically, self-populating, in real time, directly into selected album. All entries will have date and time under each entry to ensure the accuracy. In addition, application allows user to invite additional contributors to contribute and capture directly, into the same album at the same time. When the album is finalized, the album may automatically include date of the first and last entry on cover and spine of album, alongside the title.
