An image output control apparatus is capable of outputting normal images and stereo images from an output unit to a display device or a printer so that the normal images and the stereo images may be distinguishable. The image output control apparatus includes an image type determining unit that determines whether an image to be output is a stereo image or a normal image, the stereo image being composed of a pair of a left-eye image and a right-eye image, and an output form control unit that controls an image output form to distinguish a first image output form from a second image output form, the first image output form being used for outputting the stereo image, and the second image output form being used for outputting the normal image, according to the determination of the image type determining unit.
