ABSTRACT:
An album generating apparatus that stores a plurality of images, sorts the plurality of images stored per event based on image capturing environments, selects a main image that is to be a primary image in the album out of the plurality of images stored per event sorted, selects subsidiary images that are to be images subsidiary to the main image selected in the album out of the plurality of images stored per event sorted based on the contents of the main image and determines a layout of the main image selected and the subsidiary images selected based on the contents of the main image selected and the subsidiary images selected.
