IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING AN OPERATION TRAJECTORY BASED ON AN OPERATION BY A USER AND FOR PERFORMING A DESIGNATED PROCESS ON IMAGES BASED ON THE DETERMINED OPERATION TRAJECTORY

With a map displayed on a displaying apparatus 6, a user touches a touch panel 16 with his or her finger to draw an operation trajectory passing through his or her desired area on the map. A user's designated area is specified based on the operation trajectory. Images shot in the designated area are automatically selected to be displayed and the order of displaying the images is set in accordance with a drawing operation of the operation trajectory such that the image shot at a shooting spot closest to the start point of the operation trajectory is displayed first and the image shot at a shooting spot closest to the end point of the operation trajectory is displayed last. The image selecting operation and the image displaying order setting operation can be easily performed at the same time.
