The invention provides an image processing method for performing output processing such that a simple operation by the user causes an output area to be filled, an apparatus and a printer driver for carrying out the method. When a desired image is to be outputted to an image output area of an image output medium without leaving a margin, the desired image is scaled with the longitudinal and lateral scaling factors being the same so that no margin is left on the image output area, and an image output position is shifted so that the center of the scaled image corresponds with the center of the image output area. Also, when the image scaled and shifted in the output position extends off the image output area, the output of the portion extending off the image output area is prohibited. In addition, the image is rotated to an angle of 90° so that the area of portion of the scaled image extending off the image output area is reduced.
