The present invention provides an image management device and an image
management method, both capable of easily performing comparison and
reference of images in which taken images and processed images generated
from the taken images are intermingled. For that purpose, based on the
discrimination results of the attributes of the images by an attribute
discrimination unit, an image classification unit classifies the
processed images in order that the processed images may be mutually
associated or processed images may be associated with taken images
related to the processed images. A classified image list is displayed by
an image list display unit, and images selected from the list are
displayed on an image display unit. Furthermore, the image list displayed
on the image list display unit is changed by classification switching by
an image classification switching unit.
