Abstract: According to an embodiment of this invention, an information processing apparatus that executes, by a processor, a program including a first program layer with an instruction set to be interpreted and executed by the processor and a second program layer with an instruction set interpreted in advance by a unit other than the processor has the following arrangement. That is, the first program layer holds image data to be processed in a first format. On the other hand, the second program layer holds it in a second format. When transferring image data between the first program layer and the second program layer, the format of the image data is converted between the first format and the second format.
