Claim One:
1. An image display control apparatus comprising: in-area-image rotating means for rotating an image, which is located within a search area contained in an image of interest, through a specified angle in prescribed angular increments; evaluation-value calculating means for calculating an evaluation value, which represents facial likeliness of an image within the search area at each angle through which the image has been rotated in the prescribed angular increments by said in-area-image rotating means, using detection data for detecting a face image; rotation correction angle deciding means for deciding a rotation correction angle based upon an angle that affords a maximum value of the evaluation value representing facial likeliness at each angle by said evaluation-value calculating means; and display control means for controlling a display unit, in such a manner that the image of interest is rotated and displayed in a display window, using the rotation correction angle decided by said rotation correction angle deciding means.
