ABSTRACT:
An image-processing apparatus comprising: an image pickup device for taking pictures of subjects, thereby creating first and second subject images; an image combining unit for overlaying said first subject image with a partially-transparent image set with a transparent region, thereby creating a composite image; a display for displaying the composite image thus created; a memory for storing the second subject image; and a transparent-region setting unit for setting a transparent region in a part of the second subject image stored in the memory, thereby creating the partially-transparent image.
