PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently composite an image by generating divided composite image data represented with object image data in a composition area and sending them to an image compositing device, and generating composite image data representing a composite image of one frame according to the divided composite images. SOLUTION: For example, when a background image BIP for printing is divided into three BDs 1 to 3 and the BD1 has no composition region, image composition is not necessary. When composition regions AC1 and AC2 are present in the divided background images BD2 and BD3 and the load of the composition process of the BD2 is larger than the load of the BD3, divided background data, etc., are sent to a division and composition server for the composition process of the BD2 and divided background image data, etc., are sent to the division and composition server as well for the composition process of the BD3, so that the composing processes of divided images are both performed. Then, an image management server generates composition image data representing a composite image of one frame from the division and composition image data. |
