Claim:
An image-processing system comprising: a job-receiving section for receiving a job with regard to a first-type image; a job-setting-receiving section for receiving, with regard to the job of the first-type image to which a second-type image is related, a command for selecting either a merging setting or a non-merging setting; and a job-processing section for processing the job having been received, wherein: the merging setting is a setting for merging the first-type image and the second-type image, and the non-merging setting is a setting for not merging the first-type image and the second-type image; the job-processing section displays, with regard to the job of the first-type image to which the second-type image is related, either the first-type image, or a composite image of the first-type image and the second-type image on an output section in accordance with the command received by the job-setting-receiving section; for the purpose of printing an index image of a plurality of first-type images stored in a given area, the job-receiving section collectively receives a plurality of jobs whose objects are respective ones of the plurality of first-type images; the job-processing section continuously processes the plurality of jobs received, and causes the output section to print the index image; and if the non-merging setting is selected with the command, then a mark, which indicates existence of the second-type image that is related to the first-type image, is laid out along the first-type image in the index image and then the index image having the mark laid out along the first-type image is printed.
