An image reading and editing apparatus, comprising: image reading means for reading an image on an original and generating image data; attribute data storing means for storing attribute data representing how the image data is to be processed, said attribute data being set for each of a plurality of small sections into which the entire region of the original containing said image is divided, said attribute data including a prohibition attribute; attribute data input means for designating an area equal to or larger than one of said small sections in the entire region of the original, setting attribute data for the designated area, and storing the attribute data in the attribute data storing means; means for instructing that a composite image is to be formed from two or more image portions on areas designated in different originals by the attribute data input means; and image data output means for processing the image data generated by said image reading means based on the attribute data stored in said attribute data storing means and outputting the processed image data to an external apparatus so that null data is output with respect to small sections for which the prohibition attribute is set when said instructing means instructs that a composite image is to be formed.
