Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires information regarding image quality of an image, an arrangement unit that arranges the image on one or a plurality of pages, a comparison unit that compares the information regarding image quality of a plurality of the images arranged on the pages, for each page, and a notification unit that performs notification, if there is a difference in the image quality of the plurality of the images arranged on the pages as a result of the comparison.

Claims (38)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the information processing apparatus to:

acquire information regarding image quality of an image;

arrange the image on each facing page;

compare the information regarding image quality of a plurality of the images arranged on each facing page;

display the plurality of the images arranged on the facing pages with notification information if a difference in the image quality of the plurality of the images arranged on the facing pages is larger than a predetermined reference value as a result of the comparison; and

display an icon representing source from which the image is acquired near the image if the difference in the image quality of the plurality of the images arranged on the facing pages is larger than a predetermined value as the result of the comparison.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the displayed images are thumbnail images corresponding to the plurality of images arranged on the facing pages.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the icon represents a type of a capturing device used for acquisition of the image.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the information regarding image quality includes at least one of an image size, image resolution, a capturing device name, an image acquisition source, and color information.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the difference is the difference in image size which exceeds a predetermined reference value.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the difference is the difference in image resolution which exceeds a predetermined reference value.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the predetermined reference value depends on a printing device and a printing medium to which the image is output.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the icon is superimposed and displayed on the image.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the notification information is displayed on a page editing screen for displaying the facing pages to be edited.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the program, when executed by the processor, further causes the information processing apparatus to provide a user interface for a user to support editing of each facing page by replacement of an image when the difference in the image quality of the plurality of the images arranged on the facing pages is larger than a predetermined reference value as the result of the comparison.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information regarding image quality comprises color information, which indicates a parameter of color adjustment, when color adjustment processing has been performed for the images.

12. A method of controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

acquiring information regarding image quality of an image;

arranging the image on each facing page;

comparing the information regarding image quality of a plurality of the images arranged on each facing page; and

displaying the plurality of the images arranged on the facing pages with notification information, if a difference in the image quality of the plurality of the images arranged on the facing pages is larger than a predetermined reference value as a result of the comparison; and

displaying an icon representing source from which the image is acquired near the image if the difference in the image quality of the plurality of the images arranged on the facing pages is larger than a predetermined value as the result of the comparison.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

acquiring information regarding image quality of an image;

arranging the image on each facing page;

comparing the information regarding image quality of a plurality of the images arranged on each facing page;

displaying the plurality of the images arranged on the facing pages with notification information, if a difference in the image quality of the plurality of images arranged on the facing pages is larger than a predetermined reference value as a result of the comparison; and

displaying an icon representing source from which the image is acquired near the image if the difference in the image quality of the plurality of the images arranged on the facing pages is larger than a predetermined value as the result of the comparison.
