IMAGE EDITING APPARATUS, IMAGE EDITING PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEMORY MEDIUM IN WHICH PROGRAM THEREOF RECORDED

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new technology which enables an user to intuitively understand the reason of selection of a zone to create a digest in creating the digest by a plurality of indexes. SOLUTION: By analyzing the image of an editing object, the zone utilized for creating the digest is determined as a zone scheme based on a predetermined selection criterion. Continuously, the information of the selection criterion which has become the reason of determination of the determined scheme is presented to an user and further, the digest scheme created by the determined zone scheme and the time length scheme of the digest scheme are presented. When the user revises the selection criterion in response to this presentation, the zone scheme is redetermined based on the revised selection criterion. According to this constitution, the user understands intuitively the reason of selection of the zone constituting the digest. And, since the user determines the selection criterion, it becomes possible to create the digest meeting the user's taste. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
