         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to, while the selected image is displayed, selectively erase the drawing onto the selected image. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to, while the selected image is displayed, add an image stored in the memory to the selected image. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to, while the selected image is displayed, move the added image. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the at least one camera comprises first and second opposite facing cameras. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to control displaying a plurality of indicators, each corresponding to one of the stored images, and selecting the image for editing based on selection of one of the indicators. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus according to  claim 14 , wherein the indicators are scrollable.
