An image processing method includes: determining a current orientation of a target object; judging whether the current orientation satisfies a set condition; if satisfied, controlling a display screen of the device to display a prompt message to prompt the object to adjust the current orientation to not satisfy the condition; if not satisfied, adjusting a display parameter of a viewing frame to indicate that photographing is allowed; loading the target virtual image to a region where the viewing frame is located, in response to a photographing button being triggered, to acquire a target image after a portion of the object in the viewing frame has been replaced by a target virtual image. A photographer can therefore be guided by the current orientation to photograph correctly, thereby improving photographing quality and experience.
