Abstract

Abstract An apparatus is disclosed which processes image data. This apparatus comprises an input section which receives image data to be processed, and a memory section which has at least a first memory and a second memory. An input control unit receives the image data input by the input section, to allow it to be stored in the first memory. A display controller reads out the image data stored in the first memory, to display it on a display unit. A indicating unit allows all of the image data displayed on the display unit to be indicated as one unit to be registered for editing. A registration controller allows all of the image data to be stored, as one unit to be registered for editing, in the second memory, indicated in accordance with an indication made by the indicating unit.
