1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: an image reading unit configured to receive a medium including a colorless and transparent carrier sheet that includes a combination instruction mark in a predetermined position thereon and holds an original therein and configured to read a front side image and a rear side image from a front side and a rear side of the original, respectively; a mark detecting unit detecting the combination instruction mark present in the predetermined position; and an image combining unit combining a front side sliced image and a rear side sliced image sliced from predetermined positions of the front side image and the rear side image in a predetermined direction to obtain one image when the combination instruction mark is detected, wherein, when the mark detecting unit detects a predetermined non-combination instruction mark of a shape different from the combination instruction mark present in the predetermined position, the mark detecting unit neglects the combination instruction mark and sets each of the front side sliced image and the rear side sliced image sliced from the predetermined positions of the front side image and the rear side image as individual one image.
