Abstract:
In an image generating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, the reference image selecting unit selects an image as a reference image. The image extracting unit extracts at least one related image related to the reference image. The image generating unit generates a new composite image by using the reference image and the at least one related image according to a layout including a definition of at least one kind of information selected from a group including a background image, the number of images to be used, a size of each image to be used, and positional relation among images to be used. The basic control unit issues an instruction to make the reference image selecting unit select an image being displayed as the reference image and make the image generating unit generate the new composite image based on the reference image.

Claim (Index 4):
An image generating apparatus, comprising:\n an instructing unit; a display unit; a memory in which one or more programs are stored; and a processor, wherein, according to an instruction to generate a new composite image issued by the instructing unit, the one or more computer programs cause the processor to perform operations to: select an image as a reference image; extract at least one related image which is related to the selected reference image; and generate the new composite image by using the selected reference image and the extracted at least one related image based on a layout, the layout comprising a definition of at least one kind of information of a background image, the number of images to be used to generate the composite image, a size of each image to be used to generate the composite image, and positional relation among images to be used to generate the composite image, the image generating apparatus has a playback mode where an image to be displayed by the display unit is changed to another image while an image of a plurality of images is being displayed by the display unit, and the instructing unit issues the instruction to generate the new composite image at arbitrary timing while the image change is being performed in the playback mode, and while an image is being displayed in the playback mode, the processor performs the operation to generate the new composite image in the case that the instructing unit issues the instruction to generate the new composite image, and a changed image is displayed without the generation of the new composite image being performed in the case that the instructing unit issues an instruction to change the image being displayed.
