Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a position detecting unit that detects an indicated position on a display unit; a retrieving unit that retrieves a plurality of sets of image data; a thumbnail display control unit that controls a plurality of thumbnail images representing contents of the plurality of sets of image data to be displayed on the display unit; a determining unit that repeatedly determines whether an indicated position detected by the position detecting unit corresponds to an image displayed on the display unit; a thumbnail designating unit that designates a plurality of designated thumbnail images from among the plurality of thumbnail images based on a plurality of determinations made by the determining unit; a process display control unit that controls a plurality of process-indicating images to be displayed on the display unit together with the plurality of thumbnail images, the plurality of process-indicating images corresponding to a plurality of candidate processes to be performed on at least one set of image data; a process designating unit that designates a process from among the plurality of candidate processes based on a determination made by the determining unit after the thumbnail designating unit designates the plurality of designated thumbnail images; and a changing unit that changes, after the process designating unit designates the process, the plurality of designated thumbnail images that are designated by the thumbnail designating unit to a plurality of processed thumbnail images that represent results of the designated process performed on sets of image data corresponding to the plurality of designated thumbnail images designated by the thumbnail designating unit while maintaining to display the thumbnail image other than the plurality of designated thumbnail images designated by the thumbnail designating unit, wherein after the changing unit changes the plurality of designated thumbnail images to the plurality of processed thumbnail images, the thumbnail designating unit designates the plurality of processed thumbnail images as a substitution for the plurality of designated thumbnail images, wherein the process designating unit newly designates a process from among the plurality of candidate processes based on a determination by the determining unit while the thumbnail designating unit designates the plurality of processed thumbnail images, the newly designated process being different from the process previously designated by the process designating unit, wherein after the process designating unit newly designates the process, the changing unit changes the plurality of processed thumbnail images designated by the thumbnail designating unit to a plurality of processed thumbnail images that represent results of the newly designated process performed on sets of image data corresponding to the plurality of processed thumbnail images designated by the thumbnail designating unit while maintaining to display the thumbnail image other than the plurality of processed thumbnail images designated by the thumbnail designating unit.
