Claim:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: processing circuitry configured to receive a capturing instruction to capture a stereoscopic image being displayed stereoscopically; and storing circuitry configured to, when the processing circuitry receives the capturing instruction, store a plurality of parallax images used for displaying the stereoscopic image being displayed by a stereoscopic image display device in a manner associated with one another as a captured image in a predetermined storage device, wherein the storing circuitry is configured to store additional information that is information for generating an overlay image for displaying an annotation and each of the parallax images in the plurality of parallax images in a manner associated with each other as the captured image; and the processing circuitry is configured to output the selected parallax images to the first display device or the second display device as the captured image based on the display device of the output destination specified by the output instruction, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to, when the parallax number is two, select two parallax images at a parallactic angle of 5 to 6 degrees from the parallax images stored by the storing circuitry as the captured image and to output the two parallax images thus selected as the captured image.
