    Abstract: An image processing method for creating a reproduced image by executing image processing on digital image data obtained by a digital camera. This method determines first a density conversion condition for the digital image, determines next a gradation conversion condition for the image on the basis of the density conversion condition, modifies the digital image on the basis of at least one of the density and the gradation conversion conditions, and thus creates the reproduced image. The method may initially separate the digital image data into density component data and color component data, determine the density and gradation conversion conditions by using the density component data instead of the digital image data, modify the density component data in accordance with the density and gradation conversion conditions and synthesize the modified density component data with the color component data.

    Abstract: By the present invention, on the basis of information read from a magnetic recording section of a negative film (Step 200), when it is judged that there are a plurality of negative images to be exposed by the same exposure amount (the judgment in Step 212 is affirmative), a film type is identified to determine the film base density thereof, and a predetermined reference density value is added to the film base density so as to obtain a density control amount which controls the density of a print image (Steps 216 through 220). Thereafter, a color balance mean value of a large number of negative images of the same type is detected and a weighted mean value of a color balance mean value among a plurality of negative images to be exposed and the detected color balance value to obtain a color control amount (Step 222). Then, a common exposure amount is computed from the thus obtained density control amount and the color control amount (Step 224) for exposing the negative images to be exposed by the same exposure amount onto a printing paper by the common exposure amount (Step 278).

    Abstract: A photographic printer effects a second printing operation for one original frame (60) on a developed photo film (10), after a first printing operation is effected. First correcting information is used in the first printing operation for correcting an exposure amount of the original frame. To produce a photographic print, first and second equipment information is predetermined, which is associated respectively with the first and second printing operations. The first and second equipment information represents an ID of each photographic printer for effecting the first and second printing operation, or represents an ID of a printer group to which each printer belongs. The first correcting information of the original frame and the first equipment information is written to a magnetic recording layer (10c) in the first printing operation. The magnetic recording layer is formed on the photo film. The first correcting information of the original frame and the first equipment information is read from the magnetic recording layer before the second printing operation. It is determined whether the first equipment information coincides with the second equipment information. If the first equipment information coincides with the second equipment information, then the second printing operation of the original frame is effected by use of the first correcting information.

    Abstract: A color copying apparatus for constantly obtaining a high-quality print irrespective of a change in film characteristics due to deterioration over time and the like is disclosed. A reference image recorded on the film is photometrically measured to determine film characteristic data. After logarithmically transformed values of photometric values of an original image on one film set in a printing position have been stored, normalizing conditions are determined on the basis of average image data, and a transformation formula or table for transformation between the film characteristic data and image data is generated in correspondence with a film type. Pixels are then selected from the original image set in the printing position, and a characteristic amount of the image is calculated and is made to correspond to print characteristic data by means of the transformation formula or table. An abnormal frame is then determined by using the film characteristic data and the characteristic amount of the image, and an exposure amount is determined by setting coefficients of an exposure calculating formula as a result of the determination, so as to effect exposure control.

On the basic of the spectral distribution estimated and by using an effective spectral sensitivity distribution of the copying light-sensitive material, a calculation is made of a transmission density which is equivalent to a transmission density obtained when an image on the film to be printed is photometrically measured by a photometric device having a spectral sensitivity distribution identical to a spectral sensitivity distribution of the copying light-sensitive material; and exposure amount for printing the image on the film to be printed onto the light-sensitive material is determined on the basis of the transmission density calculated.
