Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: feature-value extracting means for extracting a feature value from an image; setting means for setting setting information for applying a process to the image; recording means for recording the setting information in association with the feature value of the image in a data recording medium; synchronizing means for synchronizing the feature value in the data recording medium with the feature value extracted by the feature-value extracting means; reading means for reading, when the feature value in the data recording medium is synchronized by the synchronizing means with the feature value extracted by the feature-value extracting means, setting information recorded in association with the synchronized feature value from the data recording medium; reflecting means for reflecting the process applied to the image on the basis of the setting information read by the reading means; display-image generating means for generating a display image by combining an object indicating the setting information read by the reading means with the image in which the process applied to the image is reflected by the reflecting means; and selecting means for selectively supplying the setting information read by the reading means to the reflecting means or the display-image generating means.
