The invention relates to an apparatus for incising on a film to be processed the precise contour of a required photographic image so as to obtain a process block for prints in which such photographic image is to be inserted. The apparatus comprises a data input unit capable of detecting the precise contour by causing a light pen to trace the general contour of a required image on a photocopy; an output unit capable of incising the contour on a film to be processed by receiving signals of the positions of the precise contour detected by the input unit; and a control unit capable of performing a control operation, such as relay, comparison, etc. of the signals between the input unit and the output unit.
