24. A digital image processing method comprising the steps of: executing a pre-scan of a document, on which document the user has marked a plurality of document blocks, and creating pre-scan image data from which pre-scan image data the plurality of document blocks that is marked by the user are detected; extracting the plurality of document blocks that are digital image data representing a portion of the scanned document, the scanned document having document images and a background, the plurality of document blocks includes document image data and background image data, the document image data represents some of the document images on the scanned document, wherein all the document image data in the extracted plurality of document blocks represents fewer document images than are present in the scanned document; generating character code data for character image data within the plurality of document blocks; using an electronic circuit to reconstruct the plurality of document blocks into a single document block in a specific shape based on the extracted plurality of document blocks; and using an electronic circuit to lay out the generated character code data within the reconstructed document block to create a layout image; wherein extraction means extracts a plurality of document blocks, and reconstruction means arranges the plurality of extracted document blocks into a single block reconstructed to the specific shape.
