1. A processor based album generating apparatus, comprising: an image storing section for storing images by correlating with image capturing time and image capturing position of the images, the image capturing time being the time at which the image was captured, the image capturing position being the location at which the image was captured; an importance judging section for judging importance of the image capturing time and image capturing position in the plurality of images stored in said image storing section and judging whether the importance of the image capturing time is greater than that of the image capturing position; an image capturing time sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing section per page in the album based on the image capturing time stored in said image storing section when the importance judging section judges that the importance of the image capturing time is greater than that of the image capturing position; a layout determining section for laying out the images sorted per page by said image capturing time sorting section to each page of the album; and a distribution-of-image capturing position calculating section for calculating a distribution of image capturing positions of the plurality of images stored in said image storing section based on the image capturing position of the plurality of images stored in said image storing section, wherein said importance judging section judges that importance of the image capturing position is greater than the image capturing time when deviation of the distribution of image capturing positions calculated by said distribution-of-image capturing position calculating section is larger than a reference value set in advance.
