1. An image processing apparatus comprising: one or more processors; anda memory storing instructions which, when the instructions are executed by the one or more processors, cause the image processing apparatus to function as:an obtaining unit configured to obtain a first image and a second image;a determination unit configured to determine a partial area of the first image as a composite area to be combined with the second image; anda combining unit configured to combine the second image with the composite area,wherein the determination unit determines the composite area based on distance information with regard to a plurality of partial areas of the first image, andwherein the determination unit further sets a prohibited area in the first image, and does not set, among the plurality of partial areas, a partial area that overlaps the prohibited area as the composite area. 2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the prohibited area is at least one of a central area of the first image or a particular subject area and its surrounding areas included in the first image. 3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit determines the composite area from, among the plurality of partial areas, partial areas whose distance information has a difference from distance information of the prohibited area that is greater than a threshold. 4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit determines the composite area from, among the plurality of partial areas, partial areas whose distance information is greater than a predetermined threshold. 5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit determines the composite area from, among the plurality of partial areas, partial areas whose distance information is less than a predetermined threshold. 6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit determines the composite area from, among the plurality of partial areas, partial areas whose variation regarding the distance information is less than a threshold. 7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the distance information is information indicating a subject distance in units of pixels of the first image. 8. An image processing apparatus comprising: one or more processors; anda memory storing instructions which, when the instructions are executed by the one or more processors, cause the image processing apparatus to function as:an obtaining unit configured to obtain a first image and a second image;a determination unit configured to determine a partial area of the first image as a composite area to be combined with the second image; anda combining unit configured to combine the second image with the composite area,wherein the determination unit determines the composite area from, among a plurality of partial areas of the first image, partial areas whose variation regarding at least one of luminance information and color information is less than a threshold, andwherein the determination unit further sets a prohibited area in the first image, and does not set, among the plurality of partial areas, a partial area that overlaps the prohibited area as the composite area. 9. An image capturing apparatus comprising: an image sensor;andan image processing apparatus comprising:one or more processors; anda memory storing instructions which, when the instructions are executed by the one or more processors, cause the image processing apparatus to function as:a generating unit configured to generate a first image and a second image from an image obtained by the image sensor;an obtaining unit configured to obtain a first image and a second image;a determination unit configured to determine a partial area of the first image as a composite area to be combined with the second image; anda combining unit configured to combine the second image with the composite area,wherein the determination unit determines the composite area based on distance information with regard to a plurality of partial areas of the first image, andwherein the determination unit further sets a prohibited area in the first image, and does not set, among the plurality of partial areas, a partial area that overlaps the prohibited area as the composite area. 10. An image processing method executed by an image processing apparatus, comprising: obtaining a first image and a second image;determining a partial area of the first image as a composite area to be combined with the second image based on distance information with regard to a plurality of partial areas of the first image; andcombining the second image with the composite area,wherein a prohibited area in the first image is further set, and, among the plurality of partial areas, a partial area that overlaps the prohibited area is not set as the composite area. 11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions for causing a computer to execute an image processing method by an image processing apparatus, the image processing method comprising: obtaining a first image and a second image;determining a partial area of the first image as a composite area to be combined with the second image based on distance information with regard to a plurality of partial areas of the first image; andcombining the second image with the composite area,wherein a prohibited area in the first image is further set, and, among the plurality of partial areas, a partial area that overlaps the prohibited area is not set as the composite area.
