Patent ID: 7030912

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: an image capture unit; a memory adapted to store a first image captured by said image capture unit; a first superimposing unit adapted to superimpose a second image on the first image read from said memory; a second superimposing unit adapted to superimpose a third image on the first image read from said memory; a display unit adapted to display the first image, on which the second image is superimposed; and an outputting unit adapted to output the first image, on which the third image is superimposed, from said image processing apparatus, wherein, when capturing an image, said image processing apparatus rotates the second image in a first direction according to a position of said image capture unit, superimposes the rotated second image on the first image, and displays the first image, on which the rotated second image is superimposed, on said display unit, and, at the same time, rotates the first image in a direction opposite to the first direction, superimposes the third image without rotation on the rotated first image, and outputs the rotated first image, on which the third image is superimposed without rotation, from said outputting unit.
