       7 . An image displaying program for displaying a plurality of images in a plurality of display areas on a display, the program causing a computer to execute processes of: 
 setting a color temperature in each of the display areas;    specifying original images to be displayed in the display areas, and specifying display areas in which to display the original images;    generating, from the specified original images, display images of the color temperatures set in the specified display areas; and    displaying the generated display images in the specified display areas.    
   
   
       8 . The image displaying program according to  claim 7 , wherein the color temperature of the original image corresponding to the display image displayed in the display area is corrected so as to match the color temperature of the display image.  
   
   
       9 . The image displaying program according to  claim 7 , wherein the color temperature to be set in the display area is specified so as to be based on color temperature data stored in an image file of the original image specified to be displayed in the display area.  
   
   
       10 . The image displaying program according to  claim 7 , wherein the color temperature of the display area is set to be based on the color temperature selected from a plurality of predetermined color temperatures.  
   
   
       11 . The image displaying program according to  claim 7 , wherein, if the color temperature to be set in a first display area of the plurality of display areas is set to refer to the color temperature set in a second display area, then a display image of the color temperature set in the second display area is generated when generating the display image to be displayed in the first display area.  
   
   
       12 . The image displaying program according to  claim 7 , wherein 
 it is possible to select one of 
 a first mode in which the color temperature to be set in each of the plurality of display areas is independently set in each of the display areas, and
