1. An image processing device used to form a three-dimensional object, the image processing device comprising:
a control section that causes a display section to display a first screen for a user to give an instruction; and
a reception section that receives the instruction from the user via the display section, wherein
the first screen includes a preview screen that makes formation candidates to be formed on the three-dimensional object visible to the user, and
the preview screen includes
i. a first preview screen that makes a first formation candidate, which is the formation candidate to be formed on a first forming surface of the three-dimensional object, visible to the user,
ii. a second preview screen that makes a second formation candidate, which is the formation candidate to be formed on a second forming surface different from the first forming surface of the three-dimensional object, visible to the user, and
iii. a third preview screen that makes a third formation candidate, which is the formation candidate to be formed on a third forming surface different from the first forming surface and the second forming surface of the three-dimensional object, visible to the user.
