An apparatus of processing an image contains a scene-change-detecting unit that detects a scene change of input image based on an image signal relative to the input image, a display-position-controlling unit that determines a display position of an image after the scene change to a display position associated with an image before the scene change based on a detection result in the scene-change-detecting unit, and a display-position-setting unit that sets the display position determined in the display-position-controlling unit as a display position in which the image after the scene change is displayed. The display-position-controlling unit detects a feature value of the images before and after the scene change and determines the display position of the image after the scene change based on the feature value of the images.
