ABSTRACT:
A layout image is generated by laying out images in a background area according to a predetermined rule. An instruction to edit the layout image is received from a user, and the layout image is edited. Based on a result of editing according to the instruction, user preference information representing preference of the user is generated. The user preference information is fed back in subsequent layout image generation.
