1. An image reading apparatus comprising:
a reader that reads a document, the document being a single-layered document made up of one layer and a multi-layered document made up of multiple layers;
a document placing portion on which the document is placed;
a feeding roller that feeds the document from the document placing portion;
a separating roller that is a roller nipping the document between the feeding roller and the separating roller and is capable of switching between a separation state in which the document is separated and a non-separation state in which the document is not separated;
a double-feeding detecting portion that detects double-feeding of the document on the downstream side of the feeding roller;
a controller that controls feeding of the document; and
a touch panel that displays a user interface, wherein
the user interface displays the single-layered document and the multi-layered document in a selectable manner,
the single-layered document and the multi-layered document are a photograph,
when the single-layered document is selected, the controller uses the double-feeding detecting portion and feeds the single-layered document continuously in the separation state, and
when the single-layered document is selected, the controller does not use the double-feeding detecting portion and feeds multi-layered document only one in the non-separation state.
