METHOD TO CONTROL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FILE

摘要

A method to control an image processing apparatus includes obtaining linkage information representing a relation between a plurality of image files and recording the linkage information as metadata in each of the plurality of image files. This method ensures that a large number of image files are more easily and conveniently classified since linkage information representing relations between a plurality of image files is recorded as metadata in each of the plurality of image files.
